What's in your range bag?

[Black_Sheep]

Ear pro, 2 sets of eye pro, compact binoculars, gunsmith screwdriver kit with interchangeable bits, ammo, moon clips, extra mags, Sharpie, pen, notepad, lens cleaning cloth, silicone gun cloth, towel, waterless hand cleaner, bore snake, whatever guns I’m shooting...

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

Don't forget wire ties, duck tape and para cord.

You going shooting or kidnapping someone?

... I don't know what class you are taking, but sometimes carbine classes do not end up being carbine only classes.

This may be a one day class, daytime only class or whatever. But I would still probably bring a weapon mounted light in case you end up shooting a little at night. Even if it is not scheduled or planned right now, sometimes these things happen.

It's a one day Intro to Carbine class. I think it's going to be very basic based on the course description, but you have to take this before the Intermediate Class. I do have a weaponlight.

If it's not in the syllabus, ask the instructor what he wants/recommends you bring...

I did and there wasn't much added other than what was listed. Thanks.

I would stress bug spray, sunscreen, and rain gear. I'd also add a change of clothes if your area experiences extreme temperature swings during the day. If it's not mentioned in the course description wear a hat.

Zip ties, paracord, and duct tape can help fix little nuisances. I'd add a magpul armorer's wrench even if you have a spare rifle but ESPECIALLY if you don't. I took a rifle class where a dude's factory DD rifle went down shooting factory ammo in PMAGS. Chit happens. The instructor was able to fix it with an armorer's wrench.

A lot of dudes rock knee pads. I haven't yet, but many recommend it. I will say that in one class I took, a sharp piece of bullet jacket embedded itself into a guy's kneepads. I'm lucky it wasn't my turn or it would've been in my knee. There's even pants with integrated knee pads ($$$).

Electronic ear pro is a must. Spare batteries for everything electronic is probably a good idea.

I prefer to call it, "Surprise dating".

I prefer to call it, "Surprise dating".

Jokes aside Stick... In addition to shooting I spent most of my life traveling by motorcycle and sailboat. I also shot the IPSC circuit for years. The one thing I learned was to have individual bags for individual sports. Moving things between bags will eventually get you in trouble. I once broke a shoestring at the open nationals. A couple of wire ties had me back running in seconds. Years ago we couldn't get Coors beer on the east coast. After shooing a match in Texas I bought 2 cases and duck taped them together with a tape handle. They laughed at the airport but they did let me check them as baggage.

Gonna need a rucksack to carry all that sh!t.

Twizzlers lots of twizzlers

For pants with knee pads built in there are crye knockoffs available for about a 1/3 of the price.

Eye pro, ear pro w/ spare AAA batteries, foam ear plugs several pairs, clp, basic tool kit, fat wrench, ifak.
