Essential Gear for Competitive Shooting: A Beginner's Guide

Listen Later

With my ambition of becoming a competitive shooter I needed to know what gear to have so I started looking and researching. I even called some of the organizations to ask their personnel. 

Here are some possible items that might be included on a competitive shooter's equipment list:

  • A reliable firearm, such as a pistol or rifle, that is suitable for the type of competition you will be participating in.
  • A sturdy holster or rifle sling to securely hold your firearm while you are shooting. With this you'll need a good gun belt so check out these ones:

    • Extra magazines or speed loaders to quickly reload your firearm during a competition.
    • Eye and ear protection to protect yourself from the noise and debris generated by shooting.
    • A shooting mat or bench to provide a stable platform for shooting from.
    • A spotting scope or binoculars to help you see and evaluate your shots.
    • A shooting timer to help you track your times and improve your speed.
    • Targets and target stands for practicing and competing.
    • Cleaning supplies to keep your firearm in good working condition.
    • A range bag or backpack to carry all of your gear to and from the range.

      • It's important to note that different competitions may have specific rules or requirements for equipment, so it's always a good idea to check with the organizers before you participate.
