OUR STORY
Our roots come from the Web – hence the name Weby. And we are Webygeeks – people that like all kinds of outdoor gear and seek to try it all out.
From the beginning we saw the need to offer both firearm and non-firearm related outdoor products in the same space.
So whether you hunt, shoot, camp, hike, ski, or run marathons, we carry gear that fits your lifestyle.
Our employees are passionate about the outdoors. We hunt big and small game, run marathons and zombie runs, fish saltwater and freshwater, target shoot rimfire and archery, hike and camp, windsurf and ski.
We seek to equip our customers with the gear that we ourselves would love to use in our pursuits.
