Budget Hunting!
There is an ongoing misconception that hunting and shooting are expensive, demanding activities. While it is true that hunting is a serious sport, and one must be properly equipped and trained, it need not be expensive. In fact, budget hunting is a very real, very popular thing.
Getting out into the woods, stalking and harvesting prey animals and enjoying fresh air and nature’s beauty should not break the bank.
In the following guide, we’ll identify everything you need to get out in the bush without necessitating a trip to the welfare office afterwards.
Firearms
Firefield does not manufacture firearms. However, we have some expert recommendations that can help you make this first crucial purchase with style and sense.
Note that the firearm itself is often the most expensive piece of hunting gear you will ever purchase. Budget hunting is not free hunting, after all.

Bipods
Holding a rifle upright for long periods of time is extremely draining.
