Built by a shooter, for shooters
I'm a competitive shooter based in New Braunfels, Texas. I shoot USPSA and IDPA, which means I go through a lot of ammo. A lot. And every time I needed to stock up, I'd find myself with 8 browser tabs open — SGAmmo, Lucky Gunner, PSA, Target Sports — trying to figure out which deal was actually the best deal once you factored in shipping and tax.
The problem is nobody showed me the real number. Every site shows you the base price per round. But that's not what you actually pay. By the time you add shipping and sales tax, the "cheapest" listing is often not the cheapest at all. I was doing this math manually in my head every single time, and I was probably getting it wrong half the time.
AmmoRaccoon was built to solve one problem: show you the true cost per round — base price, shipping, and tax all calculated automatically based on where you live. No more mental math. No more tab-switching. Just the real number, sorted from cheapest to most expensive.
We also built something nobody else has: the "I'm Buying" feature. Tell us how many rounds you need, and we'll calculate the cheapest way to get there — whether that's one box, four boxes, or twenty. The multi-box math is done for you automatically.
And then there's the price history charts. We track prices across all retailers every 2 hours, indefinitely. So you can see whether 9mm is cheap right now or expensive, whether prices are trending up or down, and whether today is a good day to stock up or wait. Nobody in the ammo space does this. We do.
Raccoons are scrappy, resourceful, and they always find the best deal in the trash. That felt about right for a site that digs through the internet to find you the cheapest ammo. Plus, raccoons are nocturnal — and a lot of this site was built between 7pm and midnight after the kids went to bed.
