What do you put in your range bag?

[geddylee10002000]

Getting ready to hit the range in a few weeks. Got a membership pending with with Green Valley range "Home of the Bianca Cup". I can't see any reason they would exclude me.

I am usually well prepared for all the ranges I have shot on.

What extras do you include in your range bag?

I usually carry...

Guns
Ammo
Mags
Speed Loaders
Chapman Set of Screwdrivers
Tape
Spotting Scope
Targets
Micro Fiber Clothes for wiping guns down
Hydration
Plastic sacks for brass collection

I always carry a minimalist cleaning kit, too.
Earmuffs or Ear plugs (The latter are NOT enuff as I have always used em and have a 25% hearing loss.)
Shooting glasses
I carry a very small pair of Nikon Binocs (10X) rather than a scope on the pistol range.

Mine is a simple bag.

3 firearms other than the one I wear.
200 rounds of ammo for each gun.
hearing protection for two people
10 loaded magazines for my cary gun.
2 cloth baby diapers for wiping the outside of the guns
$3 worth of change for the vending machines

Most of the above items remain in the bag so I can go shooting on the spur of the moment.

Oldman, mine is the same way. The only thing I take out of the bag are the pistols.

You are missing a Shooboy range bag sized Mini Midnite-Pro Gunsmithing Hammer.... Shoo

 

[gjamison]

i was just doing to say that shoo, i have my mini in my bag
and everything else.

 

[ImprovedModel56Fan]

Stapler. Push pins may be substituted on some backers.

 

[Maximumbob54]

Ha! I was going to say a staple gun and some extra masking tape. Range staplers are beat to death and the masking tape can double as target patch material.

 

[bitstream]

Guns and Ammo (obvious)
stapler
targets
cardboard
long tape measure
binoculars
toilet paper
paper towels
laser pointer
eye protection
ear protection
mags
bug spray
duct tape

Staple gun w/extra staples
Masking Tape
Sharpie Marker
Pencil
Log book

[ChattanoogaPhil]

Lens wipes and batteries for electronic muffs and illuminated optics.

Not necessarily a range bag item but a First Aid kit should be kept handy.

 

[bigshot500]

always bring a bottle of water...nothing ruins a day of shooting like being thirsty and not having anything to drink.

Shoo, You know my Mini-Midnight Pro Hammer is in my range-bag, that's what I bought it for and the full size is on my bench. The range bag is always loaded and ready to go except for specific pistol and ammo.

I have a California approved range bag. It holds everything but guns and ammo.

 

[Rule3]

I have one of those Midway Range bags with seperate ammo bag.

I have everything mention plus who only knows? I even cleaned it out the other day. The magazine compartment must have had every extra mag I own. I thought it would lighten it up taking them out, it didn't

The ammo bag is just as bad must have ten different brands of 22lr along with whatever caliber I am shooting that day.

I need a cart.

Yup... Sounds just like my ammo bag. . The ammo bag also carries sticky targets, paper and stapler.

Just about everything that's already been mentioned...

But I keep a first aid kit in the car- always.

Bring extra hearing protection- alway wind up needing it, or can sell it at a profit to those that need it at the range.

Y'all are forgetting the most important thing to bring...lunch!

Terrible to be out shooting with nothing to eat! Shame on y'all!

I will freely admit, it takes a day or so of planning for me to go shoot'n, because by the time I get loaded- there's no more room for anything in the car!

I do take a bucket of water and some detergent when I'm shoot'n blackpowder revolvers. The cylinders and barrels get so fouled after about five cylinders each nothing will cure them other than a good dunk with a stiff brush.
