subject: How To Choose Your Sports Shooting Requirements [print this page] If you are a regular who shoots game for sport, you will certainly know that October 1st is the beginning of the pheasant shooting season. You have until the end of January to complete your activity. Anytime before the season starts is the best time to stock up on game shooting accessories for the forthcoming season. The season is often wet and very cold, so purchasing the right items will help you enjoy your sport.
Some of the items you might look to purchase include:
1. Vest, coat
2. Game carriers
3. Shooting mack or insulated jacket
4. Jacket or waistcoat
5. Gloves and socks
6. Glasses
7. Trousers
8. Base layers
9. Clay shooting starter pack
10. Wellington boots
Game shooting is not all about careful stalking
You wont need to be completely invisible to the game if you choose pheasant as your bird of choice. Also, you wont need to blend in with the background scenery.
You will need functional clothing which not only keeps you warm, and dry, but also gives you access to anything that supports your sport and doesnt prevent you from easy movement to take your best shot.
Tweed is still a favourite for game sport, but you dont need to choose it unless a specific instruction has been issued for a special event. Nevertheless, tweed is good for waistcoats and jackets. Some people wear tweed when they arrive at a venue and then exchange it for a more modern and better functional jacket for the actual shoot. Some jackets are full of modern designs and have an outside material made of tweed, just for appearances sake.
It is smart to choose a microfleece or thermal baselayer. You can wear them under your shirt and tie to fight off the colder weather. Trousers or breeks will help to bring your collection to a close.
The time of year probably suggests that gloves are of paramount importance. You need to keep your fingers warm enough for them to be able to function just at the right moment, however cold it is outside. Those same gloves will also protect you against a hot barrel if you are in the hot seat, shoot wise. A cap or a suitable hat will keep both the sun and the rain out of your eyes. This is essential for wearers of glasses.
Use the best footwear
Your game shooting accessories wouldnt be complete without the right selection of footwear. You shouldnt use trainers or soft shoes. You will be trekking through rough countryside and it may be wet and muddy. Wellington boots are a great choice. If youre moving around dry land, then hiking boots can be a good alternative option.
Enjoy the hunt! The right game shooting accessories can certainly put you in a better position for comfort and readiness.
