About
About: The Mako Group is the exclusive importer and U.S. distributor of the best tactical equipment and weapon accessories via brands like FAB Defense, Meprolight, Front Line and E-Lander. They are also the exclusive U.S. distributor of the RTS line of self-healing polymer targets. The equipment offered by Mako Group are used by elite forces in the world and very few companies can claim such a clientele.
We are no longer having to manually enter each website order that was placed online.
The team at InSync has been very responsive to my questions and concerns, was always happy to arrange meetings when something needed to be further discussed, and has a “can-do” attitude.
