Father’s Day is fast approaching, and for the man who introduced you to gun safety, spent weekends at the range, or taught you how to set up a proper campfire, a necktie just isn’t going to cut it. This year, we’ve rounded up a selection of gear that’s as dependable, rugged, and versatile as Dad himself. Whether he’s a high-mileage hunter, range regular, or backyard plinker, there’s something here to make him feel seen—and celebrated.
Caldwell Claymore Pullpup Clay Target Thrower
If your dad’s the type who believes a day spent launching clays is a day well spent, the Caldwell Claymore Pullpup deserves a spot on his range line-up. This manually operated clay target thrower doesn’t require batteries or electricity, yet it delivers impressive speed and distance, sending clays sailing up to 70 yards with just a pull of the handle. Its compact, collapsible design makes it easy to transport and store, while the 50-clay stack capacity means less reloading and more action. The Pullpup is a great option for those who want a fast-paced shooting session without the setup hassle of larger throwers. CaldwellShooting.com

Constructed from heat-treated stainless steel and wrapped in carbon fiber, this money clip is sharp-looking and built to last. It holds cards and cash securely while resisting the bending and wear that plagues traditional wallets. Another bonus of this money clip is that it is small enough to tuck into a front pocket. 511Tactical.com

These AR500 steel targets are rated for rimfire ammunition and are highly portable for range days or backyard plinking sessions. They’re reactive without being complicated, and that means more time shooting instead of walking back and forth to reset your targets! ChampionTarget.com
