Ulfhednar: The Right Gear For Your Shooting Range Kit
Does your shooting range kit have everything you need? When you’re ready to head out to the range, making sure you have the right gear can make the outing more successful and more enjoyable. Ulfhednar is a company that specializes in shooting accessories. They offer some interesting products.
Add A Good Bag To Your Shooting Range Kit
The Ulfhednar UH010 Long Day Range Bag is a good place to start. It’s made of ultra-tough Cordura nylon with best-in-class YKK covered zippers. Its ergonomic carrying strap is non-slip, so it will stay on your shoulder no matter how far you have to walk.
A large exterior side pocket has a fold flat “table” with a soft pad for small cleaning or repair jobs. There are other well-padded exterior and interior pockets as well. The MOLLE system on top and on one side makes attaching and removing extra pockets and accessories quick and easy. The bag measures a generous 23.6 x 15.75 x 9.85 inches. It’s offered in Ulfhednar’s signature gray color and it’s built to last a lifetime.
Steady Your Rifle With A Buttstock Pillow
Every range kit should have a shooting rest. Being steady is a must, especially for long-range precision rifle shooting. You need a support for both the rifle’s forend and buttstock. Properly resting the buttstock is best achieved with a squeeze-type pillow. Such a pillow is placed under the buttstock and slightly squeezed to allow it to expand to fine-tune the elevation position of the rifle on the target.
Ulfhednar’s UH105 Squeezy Support Pillow is perfect for the task. Measuring 3 x 4.3 inches and weighing just 12 ounces, it’s made from a soft, yet rugged, neoprene material, and has easy access to customize. It’s the choice of many serious competition shooters around the globe.
Outfit Your Range Kit With A Proper Sling
How about a sling? The Ulfhednar UH303 sling is so much more than an inexpensive rifle carrier.
This sling features PRS non-elastic web and adjustable cam-buckle so you can adjust the sling length quickly.
One of the two solid plastic clamps adjusts the total length of the loop. The other locks the loop around the arm.
Together they ensure that once an adjustment has been made, it will stay there until you physically change it. The sling is also so light that it is not felt on your arm. It’s been designed to help keep you steady in all shooting positions.
Ammo Folder For Your Shooting Range Kit
To carry ammunition and stack it next to your shooting position for quick and easy access, the Ulfhednar UH110 Versatile Ammunition Folder is made from water-resistant Cordura nylon.
It features a durable carrying strap and holds up to 40 rifle cartridges. It can be set up in a triangle and locked with Velcro.
There’s also an exterior waterproof table pocket that can be removed and replaced with the four included cartridge strips, each holding 10 rounds.
Two cartridge strips can be mounted together so that you get two cartridge strips with 20 shots in each.
Rifle Case Doubles As A Shooting Mat
Usually a rifle case is just a rifle case. The Ulfhednar UH040 Base Camp is a gun case that doubles as a top-end shooting mat. It features backpack straps on the underside in addition to a top carrying handle. The UH040 is easy to sling on a shoulder and tote to the range or into the field.
Once there, the bag folds out to reveal a full-length shooting mat measuring 41 x 79 inches. While an integrated shooting mat is pretty useful on its own, Ulfhednar takes it to another level by utilizing a rubber material (like you’d see in car tires) on certain surfaces of the mat to add friction. The rubber is laid specifically on the mat to give shooters a little resistance while shooting, so shooters’ elbows and/or the firearm itself doesn’t slip when firing.
The product also has a lot of storage pockets. It has MOLLE webbing for attaching extra pockets or other equipment. There’s a zippered inner storage pocket and a channel for storing your cleaning/push rod. Also included is a detachable pocket for tables. It also comes with a two-foot extension lower leg mat and extended bipod mat. It’s made from Cordura nylon and features covered YKK zippers.
