So father’s day is just around the corner and you have not bought a gift yet. Welcome to the club. Father’s are notoriously difficult to buy gifts for. So what can you get to show your appreciation for the man who made you what you are? More importantly, what can you get that he will actually use?
Well, if your father is a shooter, here are a few gift ideas which I know he will appreciate and use all year-long. Not only are these great gifts but they will also update your dad’s shooting equipment and bring it into the present.
1. Walker Razor XV Ear Protection
A great set of ear protection is a necessity for shooting. Without great ear protection, your hearing is damaged with every shot. Now dad probably already has ear protection because he is dad and knows these things, but I bet he does not have the Walker Razor XV ear protection. Not only do they provide some of the strongest noise protection (31dB NRR) available, but they also provide sound compression so you can hear normal noise but load noises are automatically suppressed. Their low profile behind the neck design means they do not interfere when mounting his shotgun or sighting down the scope of his rifle. But, that is not the best part. They are Bluetooth enabled, so they can connect to your phone for calls or for just listening to music and their rechargeable battery means they are always ready use.. So update your dad’s ear protection and bring him into the 21st Century. Get him the Walker Razor XV Ear Protection.
2. SSP Eyewear Top Focal Tactical Safety Glasses Kit
To pair with the Walker Razor ear protection, nothing goes better than some top-notch eye protection. SSP Eyewear produces some of the best shooting eye wear available. Not only do they exceed standards such as ANSI Z87.1+2015, the lenses are anti-scratch, anti-fog and optical correct. But the SSP secret sauce is their Top Focal lenses.
If your dad has reached the age where he needs glasses for reading then he has probably complained about shooting. Normal glasses can not help. When shooting you need to see both near for the sights and far for the target. Normal reading glasses will work for the near but distort the target. Without glasses the target is focused but the sights are blurred. Top focals are like bifocals except the magnification is at the top of the lenses instead of the bottom. This allows them to be used is a standard weight forward shooting stance. So get your dad with SSP Top Focal eye wear and get him back to shooting bullseye. Available with non-magnified lenses.
3. Frog Lube FrogTube 5 Piece Kit
When dad is done with a day at the range, does the house take on that unique odor when he cleans his guns. It does not have to be that way. Frog Lube is 100% natural, Non-Toxic, Biodegradable, and will not harm the environment or your sense of smell. In fact, Frog Lube has a pleasant minty smell.

When your firearms are coated with Frog Lube, cleanup becomes easy as well as cost fouling comes off with a simple wipe of the cloth. So get your home out of the dark ages of gun cleanings and get your dad some Frog Lube.
4. Nexbelt Tactical Series: Titan Belt
Does your dad have a great gun belt or is he still using the dress belt you gave him for father’s day years ago? Normal belts do not provide the support needed to hold a holster in position. A great gun belt can make wearing a gun and holster as comfortable as an old pair of jeans. The other issue with gun belts is that they need to fit when you are wearing a holster and gun and when you are not. Normal belts have holes ever inch or so. So what if your holster needs an extra 1.5” of space. Either you wear the belt too tight which is uncomfortable or too loose which can be both unsafe and uncomfortable.
Nexbelt solves both problems with their ratcheting technology providing almost infinite adjustability and the super-high density microfiber material which provides the stiffness needed in a great gun belt. Nexbelt has multiple belt styles and dozens of buckle designs for the ultimate in personalization. So update your dad’s same old belt to a belt that uses technology invented this century. Get him a Nexbelt.
Does dad use a old gym bag to bring his guns and equipment to the range? Or is it a 10 year old range bag? In either case, it is probably time to get him a rugged purpose built range bag to transport his firearms and support equipment to the range. Produced using 1200 Denier Polyester fabric by an American company, this extra rugged bag will last him for years.
With 7 compartments, this bag has a place for everything dad needs for a day at the range. Lockable zippers with pulls, 2 padded, zippered pistol cases, and standard and AR mag holders provides dad with all the accessories dad needs. So upgrade dad’s range bag and give him one that will last for the next ten years. Get him the ZERO-Point Blank Range bag.
