At Ultimate Defense, we’ve put together a holiday gift guide filled with basic yet essential items that every shooter will love. These gifts are practical, accessible, and guaranteed to bring a smile to their face.
1. Ear and Eye Protection
Safety is always the top priority at the range, making ear and eye protection a thoughtful and practical gift.
- Ear Protection: Look for over-ear muffs or in-ear plugs with noise-canceling capabilities to protect their hearing during shooting sessions.
- Eye Protection: Durable, ballistic-rated safety glasses provide protection from debris while ensuring clear vision.
These items are lightweight, affordable, and essential for every shooter, making them a great gift or stocking stuffer.
2. Shooting Targets
Targets are a simple yet exciting gift that shooters of all levels appreciate.
- Paper Targets: Affordable and versatile, they’re great for honing accuracy.
- Reactive Targets: These targets provide instant feedback, making practice sessions more engaging.
- Steel Targets: Durable and reusable, steel targets add a satisfying “ping” when hit.
Pair a set of targets with a day pass to Ultimate Defense’s range for an even more thoughtful present.
3. Ammunition
Ammunition is a staple for any shooting enthusiast, and they can never have enough. Stock up on their preferred caliber, whether it’s 9mm, .45 ACP, or .223 Remington. High-quality ammo from trusted brands like Federal or Winchester makes a practical gift that they’ll definitely use.
4. Gun Cleaning Kits
Proper firearm maintenance is crucial, and a comprehensive gun cleaning kit makes a perfect gift. Kits often include brushes, rods, patches, and cleaning solvents. Add a bottle of gun oil or lubricant for a complete set that will keep their firearms in top condition.
5. Range Bags
Help them stay organized with a durable range bag. Look for bags with multiple compartments to store firearms, ammunition, and accessories. Compact and stylish, range bags are an excellent gift for shooters who like to keep their gear ready and accessible.

If you’re unsure what to buy, a gift card is a perfect option. Let them choose from a variety of products, training classes, or range time at Ultimate Defense. This flexible gift ensures they get exactly what they need.
8. Shooting Gloves
Shooting gloves improve grip, protect hands from heat, and provide added comfort during long shooting sessions. Look for gloves with padded palms and breathable materials to ensure maximum comfort and functionality.

Save their thumbs with a magazine loader! This simple yet effective tool speeds up the reloading process and reduces strain. It’s a small but impactful gift that every shooter will appreciate.
10. Snap Caps
Snap caps are a great gift for shooters who want to practice dry firing. These dummy rounds allow them to safely train and improve trigger control at home without live ammunition.
