#BirchwoodCasey

Whether your aim is target shooting, testing out a fresh batch of reloads, sighting in a new rifle, or just sending some lead downrange for fun, a good shooting rest can make you, the shooter, a lot more accurate. The new Birchwood Casey shooting rests are just the latest addition to the growing lineup of quality shooting products that the company has been offering since its start back in 1948.

Welcome to TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 9: Essential Gear Edition. This week I’ve gathered a handful of items that I consider to be “essential” when it comes to shooting or everyday carry duty. We’re lucky enough to have an absolutely staggering amount of high-quality products available to us in the gun industry but it’s always nice to have those things when we also get a bit of a discount (especially during these trying days). This week we’ve got a few lights, a knife, hearing protection, and even some sight-in targets. Are these the only things you’ll be needing at the range? No. However, I find myself using these items more often than not and every item on this list is something I more or less carry with me to the range every time,. Everything else just depends on what kind of shooting I plan on doing for the day.

Birchwood Casey has been providing shooters with a great lineup of accessories and tools for many years. The company has just announced that they will be adding several new types of gun rests. The new lineup has shooting rests for just about any rifle or shotgun you can think of and all are currently available and in stock for immediate shipping.

Shooting rests are a great tool to have for almost every range trip especially if accuracy is your aim for the day. Birchwood Casey has five new shooting rests for 2021 which include the Alpha, Bravo, Echo, Foxtrot, and Tango rests each with their own specific set of features and specialties.

Some time ago, I had a chance to use Birchwood Casey Super Blue to refinish a large amount of AKs (over a hundred, to be more precise). When I was looking for an effective bluing solution, I found a surprisingly little amount of actual reviews featuring different types of cold blue. So if you’re considering using cold blue to refinish your weapon, this little article might be helpful.

For 2018, Birchwood Casey will be introducing a number of new cleaning products for maintaining your firearms. Here is a quick look at some of them that will be in the new catalog.

Birchwood Casey offers a wide range of targets that brightly mark shots as the bullet passes through the paper. Called Shoot-N-C, the targets offer instant feedback for shooters and can make a first time range trip much more enjoyable for both kids and adults. For those of us that have been around the block a few times, it can still aid greatly in spotting where the bullets are going.

There are few things better than splatter targets at the range. While high-magnification spotting scopes can help with shot identification at shorter ranges, trying to group a rifle at extended range can be a bit of a chore unless there is some help. Yes, modern electronic cameras and wi-fi equipped tables are quickly becoming the norm – its an expensive norm. The splatter targets are thus the perfect low-cost solution.

Birchwood Casey designs and manufactures some of the greatest steel targets – and targets in general – on the market. Whether you need something for your air rifle or are interested in some up-close-and-personal trigger time on steel plates with frangible ammo, they’ve got you covered. They recently expanded their line to include a couple new tree stands: Birchwood Casey Dueling Tree Targets.

If there’s one thing I enjoy changing up when I head to the range it’s my targets. And if there’s a company out there with a wide variety of targets available, it’s Birchwood Casey. If you have access to a shooting spot that allows steel targets, Birchwood Casey has quite a few options in that category. There’s one in particular that’s fun for use with everything from airguns to centerfire, though, and that’s their Shoot-N-Spin.

Target practice isn’t just fun, it’s a vital part of honing your marksmanship skills. Of course, target practice is a lot more interesting when the targets are more than plain white sheets of paper. Enter Birchwood Casey, the company whose Shoot-N-C targets make the classic bulls-eye style significantly more interesting. Now they’re adding targets to their Dirty Bird lineup: three new targets for 2016.

It’s a must to keep your gun properly lubricated in order to ensure reliable function, especially if you’re using an AR platform. If you’re looking for a way to keep your gun lubed without messing with spray cans of oil or pots of paste, take a look at what’s new from Birchwood Casey: the MLP Solid Lubricant Pen.  With this new pen you can keep your gun going without the mess of many other products.

When it comes to spending time with your favorite rifle, there are two absolute truths: there’s no such thing as too much ammunition or too much target practice. If you enjoy a little auditory feedback with your target practice, odds are you’re a fan of steel targets, and there’s a new one out from Birchwood Casey you just might enjoy. The new steel target is called the Boomslang Gong and it’s designed both for easy transportation and feedback that lives up to its name in the form of a loud, resonant gong. Its also a swinging target, so you can see it move freely on impact. The Boomslang Gong is 9 1/2 inches in diameter and made of AR500 steel.

Birchwood Casey is now selling a pair of new spinner targets rated for rimfire ammunition. The first is called The Little Rattler while the second is called Sidewinder Spinner.

I am definitely on the lookout for good target stands.  Since I started writing for The Firearm Blog, my range trips have definitely increased a bit, and lacking a nice plot of my own land to safely shoot on, I am reliant upon bringing my own targets.
