WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE RANGE WITH YOU?

[SpicyTunaRoll]

aside form the obvious (weapons & ammo) what else do you bring with you? pictures of your range bag are welcome.

here is my brief list:
paper targets
bore laser
ammo
.22lr conversion for the glocks
water
paper, pen, marker,
cleaning kit with oil & rags
multiple hearing protection(couple sets of ear plugs & headset)
safety glasses(goggles from harbor freight)
mini led flash light

and since i have an EDC (every day carry) BAG, its got my first aid kit, and other personal items like wallet, money, etc.

 

[USMCHEROS]

I bring my Springfield XD-9mm with magazines unloaded, Kimber Pro Carry || ''Night version'' .45acp with magazines, Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22LR and a Ruger .357 revolver plus all the ammo and carrying cases for the weapons.

Whatever happens to be rolling around in my car at the moment i pull up to the range.

Seriously though, guns, ammo, targets, staple gun...for paper targets.

1. Whatever I plan to fire that day.
2. More then the expected ammo supply.
3. Cleaning kit with rod long enough to fit entire length of barrel
4. Eyes and ears (glasses, hearing protection)
5. Targets
6. Staple gun and staples for targets
7. Make sure to have first aid available. I have kits in all of my vehicles, and my carry everywhere bag.
8. Extra time. I always end up talking to people or just wanting to shoot more.
9. Pad and paper or smart phone to take notes. Pad and paper is quicker for me. You never know when you want to make note of something for reference later. Smart phones can take the place of pad and paper. I just hate typing on the darn things.

That is about it unless it is odd weather that requires special considerations for clothing. Or for non normal plinking at the range days. Different shooting sessions will have their own requirements. But the above is for just a normal by myself or with the Fiance or friend shooting session.

Other than the obvious stuff, it varies with what guns I'm shooting. When the 1911's are the stars of the day I make sure my 1911-combination tool is in the bag along with a nylon-bristled bore brush. With the 15-22 I'm always trying to find room for five 25-round mags (plus a 35-rounder) and a box or two of loose ammo (and the Skunkwerkx loader!). Indoor or outdoor ranges mean different stuff also. But anymore I've learned to carry a small pair of binoculars in a pocket whenever I go to the range, indoor or out. Even if I'm shooting from a bench and have the spotting scope with me the binocs come in handy. But no matter how much I plan and pack, there is always something else I wish I had brought!

In addition to most of the stuff already mentioned, I also bring a small first aid kit. My last outing with my new Springfield Armory Mil-Spec 1911 I somehow managed to pinch part of my hand between a magazine and the mag well, and it bled like crazy. On a previous outing, a friend got whacked by his slide while doing a fast draw and shoot. That also drew blood. Band-aids and an antiseptic wipe came in handy both times.
