About Widener's

Deep Appalachian Roots

Widener’s story starts long before e-commerce was a thing. Back in 1978, founder Stan Widener turned a personal passion for hunting and shooting sports into a growing business built on quality products and honest service. What began as a small operation supplying shooting and reloading essentials quickly became a full-time pursuit—driven by hands-on experience and a genuine love for the craft.

The Digital Age

In 1996, Wideners.com made the leap online, opening the door to shooters across the country. The early days of the website were simple, but the goal was clear: make it easier for customers to find the primers, powders, ammunition, and components they rely on. While technology has evolved dramatically since then, our commitment to doing right by our customers has stayed exactly the same. That includes making time to help new shooters and reloaders learn about the sport we love through tools like this handy Guide to Smokeless Gun Powder.

Wideners.com Today

Today, Widener’s is still proudly based in Appalachia and built around the same values that shaped us from the beginning—knowledgeable service, competitive pricing, and reliability you can count on. Most of our team members are shooters and reloaders themselves, which means when you reach out with a question, you’re talking to someone who understands the products because they actually use them.

From fast shipping and accurate, real-time inventory to educational resources that help new shooters and seasoned reloaders alike, we’re here to support the shooting sports community at every level. Decades later, Widener’s remains focused on what matters most: earning your trust and making sure you’re equipped to enjoy the sport we’re proud to be part of.

How Fast Will I Get My Order?

All of our orders ship from East Tennessee. If you're east of the Mississippi River, there's a very good chance you'll receive your order within 2-3 days. If you're out west, please plan for around 5 days in transit.

Can I Pick Up My Ammo?

Unfortunately, due to a combination of logistics and insurance, we cannot allow pick-ups for orders at this time. All orders must ship out.

While most of us here would rather spend our time outside at the range or in the woods than inside at the computer, we think the web can do a lot to bring the shooting community together. Check out our Friends of Widener's page to learn more.
