Primos Photoform Decoys Primos’s Photoform decoys, offered in both Jake (shown) and Hen versions, combine lightweight materials with photorealistic detail for the ultimate in run-and-gun turkey decoying. These dekes are foldable and come with metal (not plastic!) stakes for easy setup. There’s also a zipper along the bottom where the stake enters the decoy; this allows your dad to angle the deke down into a feeding posture, up for an inquisitive look-around and all manner of positions in between. Put it all together, and your dad is in for some incredible turkey hunting! $83.99 (Hen); $94.99 (Jake) | primos.com
Easton 6.5 Matrix Arrows Easton’s Acu-Carbon manufacturing technique allows for carbon arrows that are seamlessly rolled — no overlap produced, no grinding required and no need for arrows to be grouped into batches for sale. Your dad doesn’t have to take Easton’s word that this process leads to greater uniformity among its arrows, though; he can now see it for himself! This foundational process is on full display thanks to a visible, spiraling, carbon-fiber “X” along the shafts of 6.5 Matrix arrows. These +/-.003-inch-straightness arrows come in four spine sizes and include 6.5mm inserts and Bully premium vanes. $79.99 per 6 | eastonarchery.com
Muzzy ONE Series Broadheads Muzzy has expanded its ONE broadhead lineup to include 85- and 125-grain offerings as well as the original 100-grainer. The Muzzy ONE is machined from a single block of stainless steel for a ferrule with three .046-inch-thick blades built right in. This seamless design ensures the ONE will hold together on even the toughest game animals. These hybrid chisel/cut-on-contact broadheads can also be resharpened with a flat stone, meaning your dad can keep his ONE broadheads in working order indefinitely. There’s a version of the 100-grain ONE for crossbow hunters, too. $45.99 per 3 | feradyne.com/muzzy-broadheads
Leupold RX-Fulldraw 4 Rangefinder Leupold’s RX-Fulldraw 4 is packed with features for the modern bowhunter. This new rangefinder includes Archer’s Advantage software, which takes your arrow’s weight and velocity, as well as your bow’s peep height, into consideration to create a ballistics profile. That profile then allows for angle-adjusted ranging out to 175 yards in bow-specific mode. (The RX-Fulldraw 4 can range reflective targets out to 1,200 yards or trees to 1,100 yards). Flightpath technology uses that same ballistics profile to determine if your arrow will avoid branches and the like on its way to the target. $714.99 | leupold.com
Utica USA True Charm Knife Utica USA’s True Charm folding knife is the perfect choice for dads who appreciate quality-made tools that can still be used on a daily basis. The True Charm measures 4.5 inches long overall with a wooden handle and a 3.125-inch, drop-point blade made of 8Cr steel. The blade folds via a ball-bearing closure and is held open by a liner lock, while a pocket clip allows for both deep carry and easy access. Three wildlife etchings are available on the blade: one with whitetails, one with mallards and one with pheasants. $34.99 | uticausa.com
