I try to keep it to two guns, so I'm spending more time shooting than messing around. Three tops. My indoor range supplies targets, so I just bring guns, ear protection, cleaning kit (I shoot a lot of cast), a little food and drink, and at least three free hours

I always bring along whatever firearms I will be firing, make sure to have magazines for them (if they use a mag), bring the correct ammo for each gun, bring safety glasses and hearing protection (ear muff and ear plugs). Those, of course, are the basics.
Other than the basics here are some things that often come along with me: Targets (especially if the range does not offer them) shoot n' see stickers staple gun and staples universal gun cleaning kit borelight screwdriver kit extra glasses and hearing protection shooting bag or box knife binoculars (although I just got my son a spotting scope and hope to start using that) magic marker and pen camera a first aid kit my ID plenty of money because ranges around here are expensive All the best, GB

My indoor range does not allow food or drink
So there I just bring my guns and my hearing protection and my $ for ammo and targets. He sales reloads for very cheep (about 1/2 what the factory stuff is) but the rule is you have to shoot it all there and he gets to keep the brass. My out door range is not really a range but just a spot I like to shoot. I bring stuff for a camp fire as well as all the shooting supplies and food and soda.

Really? No one else brings pickled eggs/sausages?
I eat a couple of pickled eggs and an hour later the range magically clears out... |

Almost exactly one ton more of 'stuff' than I should.
My primary range shooting is traditional muzzle loader. My large range box is about to get wheels and a V8 engine so I can move it around. That plus a spotting scope, tripod, small stool, water and a fishing rod container for spare ramrods. And, often a camera. Need to scale down considerably. |

I have one of those large wheeled soft side tool bags from Lowe's or Home Depot.
I have in it: Spotting scope Targets Staple gun & staples Screwdriver set Bore light Vice-grip needle nosed pliers A few other miscellaneous tools Eye & ear protection A nylon zippered "pencil bag" with basic cleaning and lubricating supplies Ammo Pistol rest Still room left for a couple handguns if that is what I am shooting that day Rifle rest (slides right in between the handles of the tool bag) In addition, Water, lunch, what ever long guns I am shooting.

+1 on the first did kit, learned that the hard way. I used to take 4 or 5 guns, now I try to limit myself to 2, 3 max. Got tired of spending so long cleaning after the trip. My shooting area now is just a canyon on public land so I am looking for a stable shooting platform.
