Accessories for shooting come in so many classifications. These consist of ammo types, eye and ear protection gear, gun cases and cabinets as well as bags or pouches and holsters or slings.

Starting off with ammo types, sub classifications include Shotshell Ammo, Centerfire Ammo and Rimfire Ammo. Shotshell Ammo or Shotgun Ammo can be purchased starting at $3.99 a box up to $28.99 with various brands to suit your shotgun needs. Centerfire Ammo, or bullets whose primer is located in the middle of its cartridge case head, can be had from a low price of $12.99 up to $64.99 a box. Rimfire ammunition cartridges usually have an extended and a widened cap and go for a price range of $6.49 to 12.99 a box.

No hunter should go without certain essentials in hunting gear which includes ear and eye protection items. Ear or hearing protection comes in different earmuff and earplug brands. Some of the brands on sale are Browning, Peltor and Radians. Remington is also a brand that carries guns as well as eye and ear protective gear. Eye protection or glasses and goggles come in brands like Smith and Wesson, which is also a popular gun brand, as well as Peltor and Radians. Some of these popular brands also sell hearing and eye protection packages, like Remington, which is selling its package of M-22 Muffs combined with a pair of T-40 shooting glasses at a reasonably priced $29.99 and its T-10 eye and ear protection set manufactured for younger users at $22.99.

Gun cases are classified into two types, the soft cases and the hard cases. Hard case type gun cases offer padded interiors and can be bought for various gun types.
