About Us
Like you, we’ve dealt with gear that doesn’t live up to the moment—products that look solid but fall short when it actually counts. That never sat right with us.
Krate Tactical started in 2017 when Marine veteran John Fleitz picked up a steel target for a range day and realized shooters deserved better. What he and his friend Mark saw wasn’t just a gap in the market—it was a real opportunity to make this industry better by building gear people can trust and backing it with reliable, no-nonsense support.
What started with one product quickly grew into a bigger mission: serve the 2A community with gear that’s built for real use and a team that stands behind it.
At Krate Tactical, we bring military experience, real-world testing, and high standards into everything we do. Our focus is simple—make gear that works, and if something ever doesn’t, make it right.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about what we build—it’s about how we take care of the people who trust us to carry it.
Real Support. Real People.
When you reach out to us, you’re not talking to a script or getting lost in a support queue—you’re talking to real people who know our products and actually care about getting you taken care of. Whether you have a question, need help with an order, or something isn’t right, our team is here to make it right—quickly and without the runaround.
Driven by Quality
Our products are built with purpose, tested for real-world use, and held to standards that reflect where we come from. When it carries the Krate name, it’s built to perform—because we expect nothing less for ourselves.

As a veteran-owned company, supporting those who serve will always be part of who we are. From giving back to veteran-focused causes to building a team with purpose, we’re here for more than just business.
