Gift for a shooting lover

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

Hello shooting lovers! When I was asked to give shooting lover gift ideas, three things that could make great gift ideas immediately came to my mind.

For those who don’t already have one : a gun stapler (12-15$). This way you won’t need to borrow one before fixing your targets.

An other gift idea could help to shoot more precisely : a table support with cushion and with adjustable height for the rifle barrel (50$ to 100$ depending on the model)…

Finally and spotting scope. No need to get near the target to see your shooting results. You will be able to see them form where you are standing. Even at 100meters or more! Pricing starting at 150$ going up to 1000$.

Furthermore, for the inexpensive price of 25-30$ you can buy a support to attach the scope at your car window. Very useful to see a moose from far ahead all while being comfortably sitting in your car. Good hunt and good shooting!

Thank you Affûté!
