Tactical Stocks & Grips

Tactical stocks and grips are two shooting accessories that will make your old firearm feel as if it were a brand new, completely different item. You can easily change your old stock out for a new, lightweight polymer synthetic stock. They come in different colors such as OD green, camouflage style, black, tan or even pink. Having a new sleek tactical stock will make it easier to add more modern accessories.

The rails on the new stock are where you can easily attach items. A pistol grip and tactical forearm will make your shotgun into a totally new experience. These items are relatively inexpensive and can be attached easily, making your firearm ready to accept other shooting accessories.

Red Dot Sights & Scopes

The red dot sight is perhaps the best option to improve your accuracy and functionality in harsh conditions. You could be dealing with a fast moving target, inclement weather or darkness. The red dot appears on the target, allowing you to just point and shoot. This shooting accessory has been proven to increase accuracy by the military and police.

Scopes are fantastic for hunting. They could make your target seem as if it is only 100 feet away, when it could actually be 200 yards away. Some scopes incorporate the red dot technology instead of the cross hairs. This shooting accessory only shows the red dot in the center of the scope as you view though it, so you do not alert the target. The brightness and focus of the red dot may be adjusted as well as the windage and elevation. This shooting accessory can be used with a long gun and also with a pistol. Both these items will enhance your shooting experience greatly.

Magazines & Loaders

Most pistols come new from the factory with two magazines, which is best. Optimally, three would be better in case one breaks. If you carry your firearm for protection, you should always have two magazines loaded – one in the firearm and one on the ready, so you can reload in an instant.

Loaders come in handy for high capacity magazines. Pushing bullets in by hand could become more difficult without a loader. A loader also makes sure the ammunition is inserted properly to avoid jams and misfires.

Reloading Equipment & Supplies

Ammunition could be hard to come by these days, so you should stock up if you see your favorite ammo for practice. The .22 and .22 Magnum are the most popular for target practice because it’s the most inexpensive. For this reason, it’s usually the hardest to find. If you see some, stock up.

You may want to get involved in loading your own ammo. This could be an expensive proposition at first, however, it will save you money and time searching for ammo at the store in the long run. You can start off small each week looking for brass primers and powders. Once you gathered the materials, you can invest in a reloading press.

Adding these shooting accessories we discussed to your firearms will make your shooting experience more practical and enjoyable. Best of all, you don’t have to break the bank.
