WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE RANGE WITH YOU?

[HikerDan]

Seems like most of what I bring to the range has been covered, but I'll go ahead and list it anyway:

Rifle
Pistols
Ammo
Holster and belt
Staple gun and staples
Note pad & pen
Hearing protection - plugs and muffs
Safety glasses (typically only use indoors)
Band-aids
Wipes (due to loading rimfire ammo)
Sunscreen (high altitude sneaks up on you)
Water
Snacks
Plastic baggies for brass
A couple of camping chairs (sometimes we have a bigger group, and a few like to sit while waiting their turn)
Cardboard and targets

I also have one of those 20x20 folding tables. I use the police range and there are no benches for that one. Something about putting your head down to pick up more ammo at a gun range doesn't make me feel too comfortable.

I've got a Caldwell 'Stable Table' but don't take it out to the range.

Usually I set it up in the bed of my F-150 (fits nice!) and put an umbrella in one of the bed's stake holes.

Makes a really nice shooting platform and can swivel in any direction.

YES !

Hmm...My range won't allow that, but someday when I get a nice piece of land.

i shot some balloons today. i just stapled the tied up knot end to either the poster board or a wooden post and let them flap around. the women loved shooting at the balloons. was instant gratification

Depends on what I'm shooting.

-Targets
-Maybe CLP
-Mags
-Ammo
-15-22 (don't laugh I drove to the range without it once)
-Eyes and ears are always in my truck
-Gumball, tees, and wood target stand drilled to hold tees if I'm outdoors (I ripped this from top shot, Its actually loads of fun at 10-15yards with iron sights. Especially when you have 2 stands and run head to head against a buddy)
