Mine is obviously stocked for S&W rimfire revolvers - a 10" scrap of 1"x2" wood for tapping the ejector rod when my K22 or pre-34 is unknowingly used with ammo it can't eject without serious assistance.
Range Bag Contents?
- Thread starter BaaBaa
- Start date
Fingernail polish dries slower but lasts longer.
Mine has ammo, thumbtacks, UpLula, loaded magazines - empty on the way home, a multi tool, extra ear plugs. If I need anything other than the multitool to work on a gun (it has happened a few times) it just doesn't get shot any more that trip. There are others to choose from.
First aid kit resides in the vehicle which is only a few steps away while shooting at the club. I also keep a towel, wipes, bug spray, sunscreen, and an "emergency stash" of ammo in the vehicle in case I've forgotten to bring a caliber or have run out and still want to shoot a bit more.
The bag itself is a cheapie made by LA Police Gear. LA Police Gear Jumbo Bail Out Bag Low price, but decent quality.

I have 4 range bags.
The fourth is gun and caliber specific.
The rest, just useful stuff.

My range bag is a canvas tool bag I got on sale from Home Depot when my Dad worked there. Among all the odds and ends I have in it are:
Bag of foam earplugs
Shooting glasses
Stapler and box of staples
Silicon cloth
Rem Oil wipes
Various screwdrivers
Binoculars
Felt tip pen
Bandages
Brick of .22lr
Assorted speedloaders and a 1911 mag
Ziplock bags
Other stuff comes and goes based on what I'm shooting, but the stuff listed above is always in it. The bandages have come in handy more than I care to remember.

In use a large MidwayUSA range bag that usually contains the handguns I'm shooting, mags, a few hundred rounds of ammo (pistol and for rifle slung across my back), small bag for member ID card for range, shooting glasses, and ear plugs, small tools for adj of any sights depending on what guns I'm shooting, ear muffs (I usually double-up, plugs and muffs), plastic bags for any spent brass I'm collecting or reloads. Lastly, small and large paper plates as targets.

I didn't mention any particular item, but I do keep a log for my long distance rifle.
I'm disappointed. I was hoping to use your rifle/pistol list to see what I wasn't thinking about (not kidding, either).

OK, but it's a long list. If I remember I'll put it up later today.
That's why I was hoping you'd throw it out there. Knew it would be . . .

I have two. One is always packed and has tools and extras (staples, clothespins, earplugs, dots, etc) and things like flashlight, compass, sunglasses, knife. I keep this in the trunk in case I need something. The other is outing specific with the things I need that day: ammo, targets, stapler, extra mags. I also put extra ammo in bag 1 in case I decide to spend some more time.

OK, here's what I carry in my pistol/rifle/instructor bag:
Yes, I take all this stuff every time I go shooting. It all fits in this bag: LA Police Gear Jumbo Bail Out Bag and I still have room to add whichever guns I want to take. I just like to be prepared. A medium sized first aid kit stays in the truck 24/7.
You asked so, there it is.
