5 Must-Have Accessories for Precision Hunting
Web January 2, 2023
Hunting is an enjoyable sport in the USA. Many people hold legal licenses for hunting. According to Statista, 38.59 million Americans hold hunting licenses, tags, permits, etc. Moreover, the US government promotes hunting as a sport. This is because the decline in hunting can threaten conservation funding. After all, it depends primarily on the sales of hunting licenses.
Hunting is a sport that requires the utmost attention to detail. One wrong move and you could miss your target, causing you to lose an entire day of hunting. To help you succeed at their craft, you will need some essential accessories for precision hunting, including rifle scopes and optical sights, shooting sticks, bipods, etc.
Rifle Scopes
Scope magnification is one of the essential features to consider when buying a rifle scope. The higher the magnification, the more expensive and heavier the scope. You should choose your magnification based on how far away you plan to shoot. For example, if you’re hunting from 100 yards away or less, then a 3-9x40mm would be adequate. But if you plan on shooting from long distances, like 300+ yards, it’s best to go with something like 10x42mm. Several other factors can affect your rifle’s performance with a certain scope mount. These can include the following:- Eye relief
- Field of view
- Weight
- Durability
- Price point
- Mounting options like rings and adapters, etc.
