Patriot Outdoors was born out of both desire and necessity. It started with a passion for the great outdoors and a vision to see an improvement in service delivery for South Africa’s shooting industry.
That dream became a reality when these men came together and built a business to meet these needs, providing quality products and professional, competent service for those with the same passion. And like they say, the rest is history.
Patriot is made up of a unique team of shooting specialists and airgun enthusiasts. We promote the sport and lifestyle of air gunning and love exploring the unknown. We find strength in building relationships and going on outdoor adventures.
South African retailers and airgun enthusiasts can look forward to insight on the latest technology and development within the airgun industry coupled with local support for international brands from our team at Patriot.
Our team regularly travels abroad for training on new innovative products and updated services information, transferring this knowledge to our South African airgun community.

Matt Dubber has been deeply involved in the advancement of PCP Airgun technology through the development of the Smooth Twist X Slug Liners, and has been widely acknowledged as the driving force behind the agenda to make small bore slugs more widely available. Matt Joins Team Patriot alongside fellow South African Roelf Vorster who has the same passion for technical advancements in the Airgun world.
Roelf’s technical background has been key to our web & IT infrastructure at Patriot – something that we believe has been lacking amongst Airgun distributors in South Africa – and his experience in design has given us a kickstart as we begin work on some exciting new projects.
While perhaps known primarily as “YouTubers,” Matt and Roelf bring many years of combined experience and expertise to the team and ensure that strong relationships between manufacturers, retailers, and end users are always maintained.
