Shooting ear muffs are unique; unlike regular ear muffs that drown out all noises, these are built to block out only the high decibel sounds. This means that every time a shot is fired, the ear muffs will block the sound, but you are able to talk regularly. 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.

BIOMETRIC GUN SAFE

Let your dad really know how much you love him with a biometric gun safe – the next big thing in the shooting world. Before, you had to use a combination or a key to get access to your firearm. Or, you left your gun unlocked, which is quite dangerous.

With a biometric gun safe, you’ll have quick access to the gun by simply using your fingerprints.  Some of these safes are small enough to fit in the bedside table or in a closet. They are built of solid stainless steel, and some come with mounting screws to easily attach it to the floor or the drawer. Also, they have an LED light, and most are run from a 9-volt alkaline battery that will alert you when the battery is low.

Each safe is constructed with a built-in key override in case someone else must open the safe. Your dad will appreciate the added security for his valuables and his gun collection.  

SPOTTING SCOPE

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.  

BULLET CUFFLINKS
