Dress For Hunting Success

Shooting Industry, August, 2000 by Roger Combs

Don't forget your women customers when it comes to boots. The larger manufacturers have come to realize the marketing potential of more women in the outdoors and include boots made especially for a woman's foot, not simply a smaller man's boot. Women's boots also make thoughtful gifts.

Consider also the boot offerings from Wolverine, Buck Knives, Remington Arms and Sorel.

HUNTING ACCESSORIES

Every firearm needs protection and storage. Soft and hard gun cases retail from a few dollars on up to several hundred. If your customer is travelling, they need a secure case. Waller's new Soft Safe meets federal requirements for transporting guns interstate. It features a child resistant safety lock and it floats. More importantly, it doesn't look like a gun case, it resembles regular luggage -- an important consideration for the discerning hunter.

Extensive lines of case are available from Doskocil, Michaels of Oregon, Rugged Gear, Kolpin, SKB, Beretta, Aluma Sport, Browning, MTM CaseGard, Weatherby, U.S. Repeating Arms and Bob Allen.

For your customers packing needs consider offerings from Badlands, Fieldline, MPI Outdoors, Bianchi, Whitewater and Remington Arms.

Fully outfitting your customers for hunting success this year means a more rewarding experience for them and rewards for you.
