Caldwell ClayCopter

The most fun you can have with dad on Father’s Day. The ClayCopter spins single and double targets up to 100 yards, making for a great time on the range. Li-Ion battery lasts for up to 300 targets before it needs charging. Four speed settings make the ClayCopter as easy or challenging as you’d like, depending on the shooter’s skill level. Targets are bio-friendly and biodegrade faster than conventional clay targets. $200 | caldwellshooting.com

Outdoor Edge Dirk

A nice pocketknife is a classic gift, and just in time for Father’s Day, Outdoor Edge has released a line of everyday carry blades. We’re particularly partial to the Dirk, with its outdoorsman-friendly drop-point blade that’s oxide-coated for good looks and great durability. The aluminum handle feels good in the hand and is stippled for a positive grip. Lightweight, it rides easy in the pocket. $35 | outdooredge.com

CCI .22 Suppressor Max .22 Ammo

Hopefully dad is protecting his, and your, hearing by shooting a suppressed .22 when plinking, practicing and small-game hunting. CCI’s Suppressor Max ammo is designed for both accuracy and performance when shooting at low-decibel and subsonic situations. The 45-grain projectile hits hard, yet the cartridge has enough oomph to cycle most semi-auto rimfire pistols and rifles. Per 100. $18 | cci-ammunition.com

Grakksaw Backcountry Boot Dryers

At under 6 ounces, these boot dryers are an ideal item to take along on your next backcountry hunt excursion. Grakksaw selected the optimal fan size and wattage to minimize drying/usage time, and limit power consumption. Leave this little guy plugged in with your boots hanging high in a warm tent, and the insides will be dry soon after, which will boost your morale and performance in the field. They can be charged with a USB-C cable. $85 | grakksaw.com

Primos Custom Box Call

Dad has enough ties and cologne. This year, get him something practical and personal. A custom turkey box call with his name engraved is a one-of-a-kind present he’ll treasure and use for years. Primos makes it easy to design one online. Choose from maple or cherry wood, select the paddle texture, banner style, and a turkey scene that fits Dad best. Personalize five text areas and add a favorite quote or meaningful Bible verse. As you design, the preview updates in real time, so you’ll see exactly how the box call will look before placing your order. $150 | primos.com
