    Default What do you have in your "range bag"?

    starting to put together my first range bag.
    What does everyone keep in their bags beside the obvious,
    ear/eye protection, ammo, weapons?

    I'm getting to the point where I need a few range bags.

    What are you taking to the range gunwise? Then we can help even more.


    ETA; The case on this page is really nice, I use one for each pistol, sometimes I can fit two into a case. It doesn't leave you a lot of room for ammo and accessories, but it's good for a few pistols.

    The Chrony goes along nearly every trip any more.

    general gun tool kit actualy
    Brass rod and 1-lb lead ingot.
    A mesh onion-bag for empties.
    Cleaning gear.
    A spray can of CLP/LPS
    Extra targets,
    Great big, fat ferfluggin' black markers,
    Stapler or two, extra staples for both
    Roll of freezer paper
    3-lb hammer for driving in stakes for random distance targets.
    Wooden stakes for those targets.
    Paper plates for those targets
    Always something like Dr.Pepper or water for the thirst issues, sometimes a snack, too.
    If shooting the Brit 303, another bottle of water to pour down the bore after shooting corrosive Pakistani ammo.


    And in the range box, extra aperatures for the rifle sights,
    Spotting scope, clamp for the box-lid,
    Lula Loaders for pistol and M-15,
    spoons for the stripper clips (works on the Miini-14 magazines too, with some practice)
    Spare pair of glasses (once you loose the bifocal-lens for your dominant eye, this will become of particular importance)
    Yellow shooting glasses that fit over regular glases
    Muffs, and earplugs

    And then, we stat talking about guns - and the magazines and ammo for each different one.

    Glad I have a TRUCK when it is range-day.

    I bring at least one holster for each pistol my wife and I bring, which is usually 6. Like to do some practice from the draw.Also practice from draw wearing different coats or sweatshirts or other clothing we maybe wearing depending on the season. Mostly with my two primary carry guns and my wife with her's. We mostly practice this dry fire at home. It is nice to do it a little at the range once we have practiced at home.
