WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE RANGE WITH YOU?

[Gunzilla]

GI Doctors bag fool of tools, lubes, and cleaning gear.

Ammo can full of the calibers needed.

Gear bag w/ range finder, ear & eye protection, extra mags, spare parts, batteries, a range towel to lay stuff on and 2 pistols.

A 36" Voodoo Tactical camo 2 rifle case with 1 AR and the 15-22.

Gatorade and water.

I try to travel light since I know I have to unload later.

 

[SmokeStack Lightning]

Some Limburger cheese and crackers.

Always have the lane all to myself for some strange reason, too.

RANGE GEAR

a box of dunkin donuts if you want to do some fanny smoochin with the RO's.

About like the others, way too much stuff. Range bag with tools, GI cleaning kit, ammo can's, targets, crono, spotting scope, cooler etc, etc.
One thing I learned early on to always carry is a compact first aid kit. I'm constantly nicking knuckles on something or other and nothing will ruin blueing faster than blood, so it helps to have some basic kit with you. Plus you never can tell when a real emergency will happen. Better safe than sorry.
i used to have my own range on a farm I lived on and it was great, but that was long ago.

RANGE GEAR

more and more each year and harder and harder to carry. may as well make it official and get an old fart cart to haul it all in.

Around my range, it's the young farts with the carts and everything but the kitchen sink.

 

[ericlw]

man i guess i carry nothing to the range compared to everyone else. why all the cleaning stuff?

i just take my gun, ammo, mags, ear plugs.

Some folks are sorta anal.

Besides the obvious listed above, I take a SMALL case with screwdrivers and hex wrenches to fit the screws, a cover for the bench, a small bottle of CLP and a rag, and a hardwood dowel for the outside stance I need to clear the barrel / chamber. Never used it for myself, but use it quite often on other's firearms.

Guns/ammo/hearing protection..........Big glass of Ice tea.......sometimes battery operated fan. My personal range is 5 min. from the house on my property. I keep clay birds/tennis balls/empty shotgun shells/empty oil cans there for targets. Also have 5 reactive gongs at various distances. Have an 8 feet long carpet covered bench with seat and roof. I mostly shoot all alone. I spread my stuff out and have a blast(pun).

When I'm on the ranch, everywhere is a shooting range. I just leave all my stuff (except for the firearms) in the pickup. If I had to pack it all up every time I felt like shooting, I would end up looking for a new hobby. The magazines alone require a huge range bag.

When I'm not on the ranch, life sucks.

Just don't forget your can opener. That would suck, having that big ole can and no opener.

Maybe it's a pop-top?

What am i thinkin? You'd shoot it off!!!!

My bad.

Normally there's a partially used brick or two in the truck. I'll just toss the 15-22 in the truck and go. I wear glasses and use a silencer, so there's no need to bring ear or eye protection. Pretty much just roll out of the truck and start plinking.

 

[eddie234]

I keep everything in my range bag. Mostly the same as everyone else but it also contains some tools to make gun/scope adjustments. A laser bore sight. And extra hearing protection in case some one shows up and forgot theirs. Sometimes cleaning supplies.

No matter what I plan to take to the range, I ALWAYS FORGET SOMETHING! I have forgotten these in the past:

Bullets
Keys
Combinations to locks
Targets
Paper targets
Hearing protection
Glasses
Speed loaders (ever try to load Ruger MKIII or Glock mags?)
batteries for red dot
doo-hicky wrench to take off/switch optics
Shooting rest for zeroing guns with new optics
water
shade (It's pretty hot around here)
Hammer (forgotten many times)
staple gun
Table to hold all of my range junk
