From the moment we could hold a rifle, shooting, hiking, and hunting were a part of our lives. As we grew, we naturally sought careers that aligned with these passions. James joined the Army and deployed to Iraq, while Nate dove into the firearm industry, managing the firearms department of a major sporting goods retailer. After James returned, we started a firearm training company and quickly realized that the tactical gear available just didn’t meet our needs. Magazine pouches lacked speed and ergonomics, so we began tinkering with ideas to improve them. A few friends who crafted kydex holsters suggested we give it a try, and that’s when the REAPER was born. Both of us later joined law enforcement, putting our lives on the line daily, using the very gear we created. We’re driven by a passion for improving design and function, and we promise that you won’t find a better reloading apparatus than the REAPER.
