Stocking Fillers

Wondering what to buy the airgunner in your life this Christmas, or want to drop some hints as the festive period approaches? Here are some stocking filler ideas for that all-important list…

Flip-TargetThe innovative Flip Target doesn’t need to be reset between shots – every direct hit to the 55mm ‘lollipop’ target area walks it backwards, presenting you with another disc for your next shot. Various models to suit varying power levels ensure the target withstands well over 2,000 strikes – and it handily flat-packs for easy storage.

MTC-Rapier-2The MTC Rapier 2 OLED is a robust little rangefinder that gives accurate distance readings from 7m to 1,000 – and it’s small enough to stash inside a jacket pocket as well as a stocking at the end of your bed!

Orange-Peel-targetsThe Caldwell Orange Peel targets are great for zero-checking as the area around the pellet strike flakes off to reveal a bright flare of colour that you’ll easily clock from the firing line.
