What's in your range bag?

[Elkhound]

I am assembling a range bag from square one. I have a new range bag and a multi tool to put in it. What does the well equipped range bag contain?

That about does it for me as well. I also have sun screen and for this time of year, a spare stocking cap and gloves.

Insect repellent is good to have as well, along with some neosporin to go along with the band-aids.

[AMMOTECH]

Paper plates.

They make good targets and I can have lunch on them too.




I also carry:
-Cleaning kit, mil issue w/front sight tool & broken shell extractor
-A bottle of Breakfree LP
-Spotting scope
-Glasses
-Ear pro
-Gloves
-Leatherman tool
-Stapler and staples
-A couple of Zero targets just in case I need to adjust anything

*Ammo/mags are carried in an ammo can.

I have a bigger tool box for major cleaning and repair (spare parts/BCG/ect..) but I don't consider it a "range bag" and most of the time I don't even take it with me. Maybe I should...

That reminds me....

Some Wet ones in case you want to eat out at the shoot. (wash that lead and filth off your hands)

And some Toilet paper... in case of an unforseen dump.

Also, I don't use a bag. I use a sterlite plastic tote. It's easier to keep stuff from shifting. Specific items are always in the same place for quick access. Plus a hard tote acts as a small table for loading or whatever.
