Outsmart Your Prey With The Right Shooting Accessories
What are the most essential shooting accessories for long-range precision?
For long-range accuracy, we recommend investing in a stable shooting rest or bipod, a high-quality range finder, and a ballistic chronograph to measure muzzle velocity. These shooting accessories provide the consistency needed for repeatable precision.
Should I use paper or steel shooting targets?
Paper targets are best for zeroing your rifle and analyzing shot groups. Steel shooting targets (AR500) provide instant audible feedback and are highly durable for repeated use at various distances.
What is a Bore Sighter and do I need one?
A bore sighter is a vital gun accessory that aligns your scope with the barrel without firing a shot. It saves time and expensive ammunition by getting you "on the paper" before you head to the range.
How do Shooting Bags help improve accuracy?
Shooting sandbags or rear bags provide a rock-solid foundation for your rifle. Unlike hard surfaces, they absorb vibration and allow for fine micro-adjustments, ensuring your crosshairs remain steady on the target.
Are your shooting rests compatible with all types of rifles?
Yes, most of our shooting rests (including bench rests and door-mounted versions) feature adjustable height and padded yokes to accommodate everything from compact rimfire rifles to long-range chassis systems.
What are the benefits of using a Chronograph?
A chronograph measures the speed of your bullet. This data is essential for calculating bullet drop at long distances and is a must-have accessory for serious reloaders and competitive shooters in Australia.
Do you stock accessories for rifle maintenance and cleaning?
Yes! We offer a full range of gun cleaning kits, bench mats, and maintenance stands to ensure your firearm remains in peak condition and maintains its accuracy over time.
What makes a good shooting mat for field use?
A quality shooting mat should be water-resistant, padded for comfort on rocky terrain, and feature non-slip sections to keep your bipod or elbows stable during a shot.
Why use a dedicated Shooting Tripod over a standard camera tripod?
Shooting tripods are engineered to handle the heavy weight and recoil of firearms. They feature specialized "U-Yokes" or Arca-Swiss mounts for rapid target acquisition in the Australian bush.
