Chattanooga Shooting Supplies Welcomes Paul Walters as a Buyer

Chattanooga Shooting Supplies, a leading provider of firearms, ammunition, and outdoor products for retailers across the nation, proudly announces the hiring of Paul Walters as its new Buyer.

Walters brings over a decade of expertise in sales, account management, and strategic marketing within the firearms and tactical gear industries. His deep understanding of dealer and distributor relationships, paired with hands-on leadership in product development and advertising, positions him as a formidable asset to the Chattanooga Shooting Supplies team.

Most recently serving as a Buyer at Primary Arms, Walters played a key role in procurement, pricing strategy, and forecasting. He is also recognized for his contributions in digital advertising, event marketing, and product lifecycle management—skills that align directly with Chattanooga Shooting Supplies’ growth initiatives.

"Paul stood out because he combines industry expertise with a strong network in both the tactical and recreational firearms communities," said Bill Sumner, President of Chattanooga Shooting Supplies. "His hands-on product knowledge, and ability to execute complex sales strategies made him the right fit to lead our business development efforts into the next chapter of expansion and innovation."

Chattanooga Shooting Supplies was founded in 1977 by two families that had a passion for waterfowl hunting and shooting. That same passion holds true today with the second generation of family members and has now grown into a business stocking over 50,000 SKUs of shooting and hunting related products to service the independent dealer.
