Range Gear
Get outdoors ASAP
Featured item: Fix-it sticks Gun Range Kit
Fix-It Sticks. The all-around tool kit no matter your needs. This kit is equipped specifically for the field to meet all your firearm needs. From hunting to the gun range.
Glendel Big Buck Target
Get ready for next year’s Total Archery Challenge with this big buck target.
What I love about it is not just the realism, but the fact that the middle insert is removable so you can simply purchase a new one and keep shooting. Go ahead, shoot away!
SIG Sauer Kilo 3K Rangefinder
Compact. Waterproof. Insanely accurate.
Range a target out to 3,000 yards. Save 25 different bullet profiles and 8 ballistic groups, and sync your data up with Bluetooth to the SIG Sauer BDX App.
Perfect for the links, archery range, or that new long-range rifle course you’ve been eyeing (me too).
Holosun HE 507C-GR X2 Pistol Sight
Stay sharp with this 2 and 32 MOA reflex red dot for your favorite pistol. I’ve got one on my Glock 19 and I’m in love with it.
With features like “shake awake” to conserve battery life, 12 different brightness patterns, and Solar Failsafe, this is the only sight you need.
Now, go ring some steel.
Salomon Speedcross 6
Waterproof. Colorful. Comfort. Comes in Men’s and Women’s.
The most comfortable outdoor shoe I’ve ever worn. These are perfect for those weekday hikes where you just want to be comfortable putting in a handful of miles. The speed laces are my favorite feature and keep the laces tucked in the tongue and out of the way.

2024 TAC-Beaver's Bend Oklahoma
Eberlestock Range Bag
The bang-bang range bag is the only range bag you’ll ever need. It’s tough, built for the elements, and has a seal of approval from the world’s foremost outdoorsmen (and me).
Walker Razor Ear Pro
Slim enough to not get in the way, tough enough for any environment. These battery-operated ear protectors filter out the noise and still allow you to communicate with your buddies on the range. If that isn’t enough, then plug in your two-way radio for extra comms.
Shooter's Notebook
Every range bag should include one of these. I have a notebook for every rifle. Keep track of your shots, shooting sessions, rifle loads, and more.
Tacticon Double Rifle Soft Case
Protect those investments and hit the range comfortably with this double rifle case with additional pockets and storage. Available in several colors including Coyote Brown, my favorite. Waterproof and Disabled Combat Veteran Owned. Buy two.
Cooking
Fire Up The Grill
Shark BBQ Tongs
Grip it and grill it like a professional. These tongs are high quality and makes flipping even the fattest steak a breeze.
Meat Thermometer
Alpha Grillers meat thermometer will keep you on target for that next smoke. Make sure your meat is cooked to propper temp, and don’t miss out on that elusive stall temp for your next brisket all-nighter.
Burn Pitt BBQ
Veteran owned. Award winning. Try the variety pack and pick your favorite. Great on ribs and chicken.
My favorite: Pop-Smoke Memphis Rub
Magic Blender
Hamilton Beach Magic Blender will have you dishing out your classic margaritas in no time. Blends everything from food marinades to smoothies and more.
Bamboo Cutting Board
Bamboo cutting boards are better than plastic, and keep the microplastics from entering your food, and then into your body.
Plus, bamboo is easy to clean and with a littler vinegar will keep your food bacteria free.
16L Collapsible Food Storage
These things are cool. They collapse for easy storage and expand to hold your food. From those large chunks of meat you want to marinate overnight, to the leftover ribs (who doesn’t eat all the ribs?), these storage containers are multi-purpose.
Outdoors
Put down your phone and get some fresh air.
Pizza Oven
(30% SALE) for $199.99
One bite, everybody knows the rules. Be the king of pizza with this outdoor pizza oven and make the Stool Presidente jealous.
I have one and love it. Makes great pizza with the same pellets that fuel my Traeger Grill.
Misting Fan
The same battery that powers my drill also helps keep me cool when Oklahoma’s heat index cranks up in mid July. Plus, this guy sits on top of a 5 gallon bucket full of water and keeps you cool with 4 misting settings.
Tabletop fire pit
Don’t have a large backyard for a firepit? I got you covered. This table top firepit is only 15 inches long, and made of concrete. Perfect for those back patio get-togethers with the friends. Just make sure they provide the beers.
GCI Outdoor Rocking Chair
Freestyle and available in a dozen colors, this chair will have you chilling and relaxing around the pool, firepit, or that spring baseball game. It’s portable too, so you can take it camping or to that next neighborhood cookout.
Sandbag
Low-impact training adds weight to those body-weight exercises. Plus, it has 7 different handles for a multitude of exercises and a workout guide. Adjust the weight easily with internal pockets and get to work!
Battle Rope
One of the best workouts you’ll ever get is spending 5 minutes with this thing. You can beat it up, throw it around, and slam it to the ground and it will ask for more.
Great cardio for those who hate to run (like me).
Protekt Supplements
Made by a Navy SEAL.
These liquid-based supplements will keep you hydrated and nourished all spring and summer long. Great flavors and are much better for you than the nasty powders.
Try the black cherry or the sleep aids for ultimate performance.
