What makes your shooting easier?

Post by Hakaman » Sat Nov 07, 2009 9:39 pm

There are probably many items that make your shooting more pleasurable, and just plain easier. Here are a couple of mine:

For a few bucks these items save my thumbs and fingers plenty of pain.
Anything in your bag that makes shooting more enjoyable?

Yes, the Maglula UPLULA has been in my bag ever since I started shooting again. As far as speed loader for the MKIII's No one seams to make one that's small and compact like they do for the earlier Mk's. But I find I shoot fine taking the time to manually load the MKIII's mag. I know it sure save me money when I take my time loading and shooting, than blowing through a bunch of ammo.

Any optic to see the target results better. I was using an old Jason 10X monocular, then got an 8X25 Busnell binocular on a Gander Mtn. "hot buy" for 15 bucks. Easier than the old monocular. I can set up several targets and stay put 'til I've used them all.

Good item Ruger. I got a pair of 7x35 bushnell's that was a gift some years back, they work good for indoors. I find using 2 eyes (binoculars) as opposed to monoculars helps out alot.
I never thought I would say this about myself, but, my eyes ain't what they used to be. I'm getting old :alex: !!!

The Ultimate Clip-loader for my Ruger pistols.
Tennis balls and string for reactive targets (they take an amazing amount of abuse).
An Otis cleaning kit for any "at the range" needs.
A pair of gloves for cleaning up the crap other shooters leave on the outdoor range.
A tarp for collecting my brass (outdoor), or at least catching most of it.
A flashlight for mining the indoor range for brass (Anyone want to buy a gallon or two of sorted brass?)
Earplugs in multiple sizes and styles, I wear HP at work a lot, so I tend to amass them, and other shooters who forget theirs are eternally grateful.
