Tested & Approved
The Bulldog Target Is the be-all end-all of targets. Stopping crossbows up to 450FPS, the arrows being removable with just two fingers, and offering a lifetime warranty... there's really no reason to choose a different target.
2. Hollow Socks
I know what you're thinking. Socks as a gift... thanks mom. These aren't just some socks, though. The alpaca wool from Hollow is moisture wicking, antimicrobial, and odorless. Gift someone a lifetime of odor-free and dry socks.
3. SITKA Gear
Layering is the core of anything outdoors, and it always starts with a base layer. Moisture wicking is a necessity, but SITKA's core hoodie gives hunters utility from their base layer, letting them choose carry less unnecessary gear.
4. Scent Crusher Gear Bag 2.0
The Scent Crusher is a bag designed to keep scent hidden. Anything you don't want game to smell, you can put in the Gear Bag 2.0. While intended for hunters, almost any outdoors enthusiast will find it useful for masking their scent.
5. Helle Norwegian Knives
Helle Norway offers a knife for practically every application. We chose the Arv because of its history. Arv means inheritance, a fitting name for a knife with generations of history in its design. This versatile medium knife is tool any outdoorsman will cherish for life, and even be able to pass down to the next generation.
Why Bulldog Targets is the Ultimate Gift
One of my top priorities is the outdoors. Whether it's an adventure, roadtrip, target practice, or a hunt, having the best equipment is essential. When it comes to target practice, there's no competing with Bulldog Targets.
If we're just looking at pros, Bulldog Targets don't wear out, and have an entire lineup of lifetime warranty targets. The target can stop an arrow going up to 450fps, so nearly every crossbow on earth is usable on this target.
Additionally, you can pull out arrows with just the pinch of two fingers. No more fighting the target to release your arrows. This means less time spent between shots.
