Hi-Point® Firearms, an America-based manufacturer of reliable and affordable pistols and carbine rifles for defense, sporting, and hunting applications, recently named Vance Outdoors Inc. its Dealer of the Year award. Charlie Brown, President of MKS Supply and distributor for Hi-Point Firearms, presented the award to Andrew Hyder, firearms buyer for Vance Outdoors, and his team at the 2023 SHOT Show.

For three decades, Vance Outdoors has been a strong supporter of MKS brands and Hi-Point firearms. The sporting goods and law enforcement retailer based in Columbus, Ohio, started as a general store selling sporting goods in 1938 and transitioned to a full-time sporting goods endeavor in 1978. The company maintained family ownership until it recently transitioned to an employee-owned ESOP.

"Vance Outdoors has a long history with shooters and outdoor enthusiasts in the Central Ohio region," said Brown. "The company's 'customer-first' approach and dedicated staff have been the winning formula for their 85-year run. We have enjoyed our partnership with the Vance family over the years and are pleased to present the company with our Dealer of the Year award for 2023.”

Vance Outdoors currently operates four retail stores in Central Ohio (Columbus, Hebron, Lebanon, and Obetz) as well as a law enforcement and a marine operation.
