n4p226r 105 Posted January 5, 2011 Wondering what everyone keeps in their range bag. Also looking for the must have first aid items to throw in there. Maybe a small first aid kit I'm thinking Gloves Eyes Ears Copies of paperwork Ammo when going to range Targets Water bottle Bug spray Gun cleaning wipes Clean towels What else would you put in there?

Soju 153 Posted January 5, 2011 Well, I have in mine, Spotting Scope Paper targets Duct Tape Tacs Staples/Stapler Food dye Gloves Hat String Pen/notebook/ammo log Shooting glasses Earplugs and ear protectors Things I throw in there depending on what I'm doing/shooting that day- Ammo Magazines Shooting bags Lubrication and a few quick cleaning supplies Holsters There is always something I wish I had but can never remember later, and always things I don't use but usually think I might. I feel like I'm so organized when I leave, but 3 minutes after I get there everything is a mess anyways. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e80hydro 120 Posted January 5, 2011 All the above plus I bring a table cloth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Medic3166 0 Posted January 6, 2011 Also looking for the must have first aid items to throw in there. Maybe a small first aid kit A roll or two of 4" Kling (rolled gauze), a few 4x4's, maybe a 5x9 dressing or two, a roll of 2" medical tape, and of course a bunch of band-aids. Any pharmacy will have these items, and they really don't take up much space at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n4p226r 105 Posted January 6, 2011 thanks for the suggestions. keep them coming. whats the food dye for? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soju 153 Posted January 6, 2011 Way too much soda gets drank at my house, so I use the food coloring to fill up the bottles and make them pretty colors and shoot them. I guess since I do it at home I really have no reason to keep it in my range bag, but at least this way I always know where it is! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RecessedFilter 222 Posted January 6, 2011 I know most of your responses will be "I'd rather be prepared then not" but wow, I can't believe how much crap you guys bring to the range. i just bring guns, ammo, targets and a couple other little things like pens and earplugs and stuff.

bbk 188 Posted January 6, 2011 My range bag itself is quite simple, and no behemoth like Petey's Just ammo, lube, Gerber, ear/eye pro, tape, and notebook & pen. As for the emergency duffel in my trunk? Well, that's a whole different beast... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisJM981 924 Posted January 6, 2011 I'd rather have it and not need it... Pretty much mine is like Caine's. I keep a rifle rod in there in case of a squib. Also some cleaning patches, Hoppes No.9, Gun Scrubber, a blanket for the bench, first aid kit with quick clot, chamber flags, and some emergency power bars. Surprisingly I've needed the first aid kit twice since the summer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJM981 924 Posted January 6, 2011 Most of the stuff in my bag is there to solve other peoples problems Yep pinched thumbs and webbing bleed a lot. Hopefully I never need the Quick Clot. I have the sport version, but I'd rather have the First Responder level instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shug 4 Posted January 13, 2011 Not trying to take over the thread but seems like a good place for this. What do you guys recommend bringing as a starter for a outdoor range (handgun, shotgun usage) ? Right now I have in my bag when I hit the indoor range. Ear Plugs Ear Muffs Extra Mags Ammo Eye Protection Speed Loader Cleaning Kit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted January 20, 2011 Which one? I don't know where to start. Half have copies of Form 1s and Form 4s. Most have ears, eyes, markers, tape, oil, screw-on lid from an instant coffee container, and at least one loaded handgun (except for some SMG bags). From there it gets crazy. I try to keep a lot of certain stuff in all of them but there is a lot of other stuff that's often in some and not in others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
