With all the guns and gear out there, it can be hard to nail down something that will thrill Dad in time for Father’s Day. We put together a list of proven products sure to check any box. No matter what niche in the shooting sports that Dad thrives in, there’s something here just for him.
Nightstick USB-320 Flashlight for Father’s Day
Some gifts you cannot get enough of. Knives are one. A good light is another. Whether dad needs a light for the nightstand, for the pack, or for that car emergency kit, consider the Nightstick USB-320 Flashlight.
MSRP: $61.95
Bear & Son Caper Knife
Knives are like potato chips. It is hard to only have one. Some dad’s excel at particular tasks like carving, skinning, and cooking, while some are a jack of all trades. The Bear & Son Caper is a traditional fixed blade knife. It splits the difference between an all-around instrument and a hunting knife.
Although its slim profile and 2.4 ounce weight puts it on the light side, the Caper’s 440 stainless steel 2 1/2 inch blade and solid tang is a good balance of toughness and versatility. The serrated jimping on the back of the blade makes for strong, controlled cuts, whether you are skinning game or cutting fine or coarse kindling. But the Caper is not all business. Its nickel bolster, rosewood grips, and brown leather sheath make it a handsome addition to the belt line no matter the pursuit.
MSRP: $74.99
Caldwell Deadshot Shooting Rest
Even the best off-hand shooter dad is going to have to settle down and put their firearm on paper for a proper sight-in. Conventional shooting rests leave something to be desired. Some rely too heavily on plastic parts that break with use. Others are either too bulky or do not work well with the magazines and buttstocks on some long guns.
The Caldwell Deadshot is a deceptively simple and stable bag setup. It features a small rear rest and a large front. The bags already come pre-filled and stack on top of each other for easy transport. When deployed, the large bag can easily be used for handguns. The rear bag can be adjusted or left away from the shooting table, depending on Dad’s long gun setup.
MSRP: $47.99
Nikon Prostaff 1000 Rangefinder
Nikon is a first name in digital cameras, but they produce fine rifle scopes and binoculars. But none may be more useful than the Nikon Prostaff 1000 rangefinder. The Prostaff 1000 is not the latest product in Nikon’s lineup. However, it is proven through years of field use both on the range and chasing game. But why a rangefinder?
Dads are good at many things, but judging distance by sight alone is not one of those things. 75 feet might as well be 75 yards. Good range estimation is vital whether Dad is setting up realistic distances for competition shooting or getting the lay of the land at his new hunting spot. The Prostaff 1000 features 6x magnification to adequately differentiate distant targets and landmarks out to 1000 yards.
MSRP: $179.95
POM Industries Clip OC Pepper Spray
Dads who live the concealed carry lifestyle sometimes fixate on guns and ammunition while failing to notice other gear that is more likely to be used. OC Spray, like that from POM industries, provides an intermediate, less-lethal option between harsh words and deadly force. POM Industries Clip OC Spray uses 10% Oleoresin Capsicum combined with 1.4 % Major Capsaicinoids, which is the strongest blinding formula on the market. POM’s unit has a maximum range of ten feet and has ten to twelve seconds of continuous spray. POM Clip units come in packs of one, three, or five. They feature a flip-top safety to prevent accidental discharge and a pocket clip for ease of carry anywhere on the body.
MSRP: $35.95
Lee Hand Press
Does Dad like to shoot but frets at the cost of ammo? Rather than go through the guesswork of tracking down the ammunition he likes, why not get him something to load his own? Enter the Lee Hand Press.
The clamshell-style Lee Hand Press is a single-stage press that is simple to operate and easy to store. Weighing under two pounds and only one foot long, the Hand Press stores in a drawer, and there is no need for a table. Each operation of the loading process can be done from the comfort of a recliner or porch. The Lee Hand Press features all-aluminum and steel construction that will handle decades of wear and tear and produce first-class ammunition for pennies on the dollar. The Lee Hand Press kit comes with Lee’s Ram Prime unit, a powder funnel, and a tube of resizing lubricant. All that is needed to start loading ammunition is a set of dies and components. That, you leave up to him!
