We may have all we need, but we seldom have all we want. So, here are a few ideas for the competitive or casual shooter, hunter, or outdoorsman (or woman) to put on their list to Santa.

Some purchases can be really hard to justify until you’ve actually used the product, Fix-It-Sticks is one of those. While at first glance it looks like an ordinary tool kit, albeit a relatively expensive one, it helps to look at it from the standpoint of a cost/benefit analysis.

If you are preparing for a competition or just plinking with your kids, you need targets or you are just converting money into noise. Some ranges provide everything, others just provide stands. Your training or fun can hinge on your targets.

The Kestrel 5700 with 4DOF (for short), is compact and robust. These traits are necessary for a unit designed for long range shooters because many applications including hunting, military and competitive uses put the ultimate strain on equipment due to harsh environmental conditions, rough handling and long hours of use. This weather meter is drop tested, waterproof and dust-proof, which I have verified through my months of use while I’ve had it.

When it comes to Battle Belts, War Belts, Range Belts or whatever name you want to put on them, there are a lot of options.One of the best offerings I’ve had the opportunity to put in time with has been the Snake Eater Tactical (S.E.T.) War Belt (3 Part System).

I’ve used a lot of different methods but the best way that I’ve found so far is the Rifle Mounted Data Holder from Hawk Hill Custom. It’s actually a quite simple description of an incredibly engineered product.

The Stalker QD proved to be a nice piece of light-weight hunting gear that went on at a moment’s notice to provide the stability I needed for a good, ethical shot.

My affinity for scary black rifles began eons ago, back in 2003, as an honorary member of the Tarleton State High Power Rifle Team. From there, my interests morphed into local 3-gun competitions where I took my DCM rifle and changed out parts to make the gun more viable for match shooting—something of a Franken-gun, really, but it ran well, and it was a tack driver.
