For shooting sports competitors, precision and performance are critical not just on the range but also when transporting gear. Finding the right protective case for firearms and accessories is often a challenge due to varying sizes, configurations, and the need for quick access during competitions. For more insights into quick and efficient customisation, check out this article tailored for shooting sports competitors.

This article addresses some of the common concerns related to size constraints and offers practical solutions to ensure all your shooting gear fits securely, compactly, and with ease of access.

1. How Can I Find a Case That Fits My Firearm and Accessories without Wasting Space?

The perfect case should not only fit your firearm but also accommodate accessories such as scopes, magazines, and cleaning kits. Standard foam inserts may not always provide the right layout, which is why cases like the Peli Protector™ Series offer customisable interiors using Pick N Pluck™ foam. This feature allows shooters to pluck out foam cubes and create compartments that are tailored precisely to their gear. Additionally, cases like the Peli Air™ models provide TrekPak™ dividers that enable competitors to adjust sections easily, maintaining a compact setup while maximizing protection​.

2. What Case Options Are Available for Transporting Multiple Firearms Securely?

Transporting multiple firearms, such as a combination of rifles and pistols, can be cumbersome. Peli offers specific solutions for this problem with cases like the iM3300, which can hold multiple rifles and additional accessories with its customisable layers of foam and dividers. Another option is the iM3200 case, which includes compartments for a rifle, additional barrels, and multiple magazines. These cases feature Press & Pull™ latches and padlockable hasps, ensuring your firearms stay secured even in transit .

3. How Do I Choose a Case That is Easy to Transport but Doesn't Compromise on Space?

Mobility is crucial for shooting sports competitors who often need to carry their gear to different locations. Lightweight cases like the Peli Air™ series are designed to reduce weight by up to 40% compared to standard cases, without compromising durability. With built-in wheels and ergonomic handles, these cases are easy to maneuver, while offering ample space for your firearms and accessories​.

4. How Can I Ensure My Case Offers Adequate Protection for My Precision Equipment?

Shooting sports gear is sensitive and often includes delicate optics or custom parts. Cases like the Peli™ Storm Case Series are built to withstand extreme conditions. They feature an IP67 waterproof rating and are tested for impact resistance. The cases are also equipped with Vortex™ valves that prevent vacuum lock, making them easier to open after altitude changes or pressure differentials .

5. Can a Case Be Customized to Suit Different Types of Competitions?

For competitors who participate in a range of events—from tactical shooting to long-range precision—a case that offers flexibility is ideal. Peli’s cases come with various configurations, such as multi-layered foam inserts and modular dividers that can be adjusted based on the gear you carry for each event. This flexibility means you can use the same case for different setups without needing multiple cases, ensuring a compact, space-saving solution for each competition.

Whether you're a precision shooter, a tactical competitor, or simply enjoy the sport, having a case that meets all your size and accessibility requirements is essential. Peli cases provide a range of solutions, from customizable interiors to lightweight, highly durable exteriors that guarantee protection and portability. With Peli, you’ll never have to compromise on space or safety.
