What do you keep in your range bag?
I am putting together a range bag for going to the range. Going to be mostly cleaning kit and ammo and stuff.
Curious what you guys have in your range bag and what do you use as a range bag. I use an old camera bag that I had around the house. |

Midway ran this bag on sale for $29 last year and I snagged one.
http://www.midwayusa.com/product/939...tion-range-bag Wish I had snagged 2 ... I can load this thing up with more weapons and ammo than I can comfortably carry. I keep a handfull of disposable ear plugs ... in case I forget my protection, a friend tags along or someone shooting next to me needs a set. Small jar of Carmex lip balm. The jar seals, where the twist tube melts and the squeeze tube can get crushed. I bought a cheap multi-tool at Cabelas ... think it was $5 ... has been extremely handy on many occasions. A shooters towel (stole a diaper from my grand daughter ... clean of course) ... wipe sweat or dry washed hands after loading a dozen mags. Spray can of Baristol and a Hoppes polishing cloth. |

Any pistols I will shoot;
Magazines for anything I will shoot that uses them; Marker for marking holes in paper targets; Staple gun and extra staples; Pen and paper for taking notes if needed; Ear protection; Sometimes paper plates (for some kinds of shooting); Deep woods off (seasonal); Ammunition; and A Book to read. Targets, rifles, water and something to munch on are seperate. The bag is something my sons gave me as a gift. It's got the SIG logo on it. It has one large outside pocket and a kind of paded insert with three slots to put a pistol. |
