    What are your range bag essentials?

    Besides mags, ammo, eye & ear protection and maybe a stapler, what else should you always carry in your range bag? Anything that makes your life easier with a particular firearm?

    I'm not new to shooting but I decided to put this in the "New to Firearms/Shooting" section because there are things that can the more experienced among us can pass along.

    I'll go first since I started this thread.

    I've really come to love the UpLULA (pistol mags) & the StripLULA (AR mags)from Maglula

    I have yet to find a range bag essential for my shotgun.

    Rag and lube. That sounds dirty...

    Anyway, if you have electronic ear pro, batteries for said ear pro...or standard ear pro.

    I also keep Sharpie markers / pens or stickers and labels to mark suspect magazines.

    all of the above...add a spotting scope, benchrests to assist with zeroing in your rifle, tablet for recording hits and adjustments for zero, 100yds, 200yds, etc. and ammo fired, shooting glasses.

    a pair of binocs. And a range finder if I'm plinking from my truckbed at randomly placed targets or I go to a range that's new to me.

    I have one of them long cleaning rods that fits the .17cals. Help to keep from running a great day when a shooting partner used the )(&*)(*^ TULAMMO in their mini. Was able to backout the jammed casing.

    Also a camera (cell or real), stapler, tape, rangefinder(soon), boresnake, and ONLY the ammo I have budgeted to shoot, a paint pen (used to mark troublesome magazines) and finally some kind of bag to carry the spent casings. I dont reload but I usually leave the bag by the range house and someone that does picks them up.
