The guns are secondary to the Ice Chest.

This. Giant industrial-sized ice chest full of water and G2 Gatorade bottles.

One of the big mamma-jamma's with wheels on it, not one of the lunch-box size ones.

To say nothing of your face. I learned that when lived in the Phoenix area (Glendale) then reaffirmed it in SE OK, it was like the monsoon season in AZ (not necessarily raining) all the flipping time, just miserable hot intense sun with ridiculous humidity. If you weren't rehydrating constantly you'd be dying.

We haven't got cooked too bad this year at all. Pop up shade is another life saver, folding tables, and Pappabear hangs screens on the sides of the pop up for excellent shade.

Another voter for the UpLula... followed closely by the StripLula... Load mags quickly, get back to shooting.

This seems to be coming up a lot.

My cell phone is pretty damn instrumental to improving my shooting ability, specifically the video camera. Nothing like being able to review video of your stance, reloads, etc. and fix things that need fixing.

Also, not sure if this qualifies since it is not a physical item per se, but allow me to add to the list: this forum. Not sure how dudes learned about this stuff pre-internet, but I'm sure glad I can come on here and learn about all kinds of gear, training techniques, drills, etc.

For me - I would have to say that the most indispensable accessory, is a staple gun w/a box of staples. I learned a long time ago that this is the 2d most important "gun" that you can bring to the range.

For me, my range bag set-up is fluid. I have 2 different range bags. 1 generally has the ammo and magazines/moon clips, while the other has the "cool" (but handy) stuff. However, I've recently been looking at one of the plastic, rolling tool boxes with the collapsible handle (like what a contractor would use to roll tools from the vehicle to a work site)

My "cool" stuff range bag includes, but is not limited to:
- 1st Aid kit w/ tourniquet + band-aids (for little owies)
- Electronic hearing protection (w/a spare battery) + foam earplugs (For double protection when someone is shooting something w/ a
muzzle brake under overhead cover)
- Some form of lubricant/oil, an application rag, a weapons cleaning kit and some paper towels
- A small Allen wrench/Torx bit set
- Screwdriver bit set
- Targets, masking tape, black "bulls eye" stickies
- Spotting scope/binoculars/tripod
- Short cleaning rod (for pistol), full length cleaning rod (for rifle)
- Shot timer (w/a spare battery)
- Lulu/glock loader for whatever I'm shooting. Spare moon clips + loader/unloader for revolver
- 1911 bushing wrench
- Small notepad, pen, and sharpie
- Sand bags (these can be made using old blue jean pant legs w/ plastic bag liners)

YMMV - but this has worked well for me.
