It can even enhance normal speaking tones, so your dad will be able to hear the directions from the range officer or talk easily with his buddies without taking off his ear protection.

Another great gift for any dad who loves to spend his off days at the range or hunting is a spotting scope. These scopes range in price, but if you can invest in a quality one, it may just last a lifetime.

When buying a spotting scope, there are a few things that you should look for. First, you want an objective lens of at least 60mm or more. This important component will allow the most light and provide a bright image.  

Another thing to consider is whether he would prefer a fixed sight or a variable power. The fixed sight has only one magnification, so it will work for ranges up to one hundred yards. But if he shoots his gun at a greater distance, you may want to consider one with a variable scope, so he can adjust the zoom to see targets farther away. Whether dad shoots at the range or is an avid hunter, you can't go wrong with a spotting scope.
