    Range bag question.

    I am in the market for a new range bag and cant decide if I want a dedicated shooting bag like the Midway comp bag or the shooters connection tournament bag, or a simple backpack. I had an Oakley panel or Icon back pack in mind so it would be less conspicuous it has room for everything I need, included padded area for my pistol. The zippers are configured on it so it's lockable as well.
    The midway/shooters connection bags cant be locked but might keep mags, and things more organized.
    OPINIONS?
    Heres what I want to fit in it for either a day at USPSA or a day at a multigun event.
    250-300 rounds of 9mm or 40.
    125 birdshot, and 10 slugs.
    150-200 .223.
    4 P-mags
    6 Glock mags
    Glock 34 (glock 24 slide)
    Eye pro ear pro
    Bottle of water
    My maintenance kit, and a small first aid kit.
    On a 3 gun day I imagine I might have to carry my rifle case around to some stages along with the bag so a back pack might be more comfortable than a single strap bag.
    So what do you guys think?

    Personally I prefer just a regular bag that fits what I want. You pay extra when they put the term "range" in front of bag. Might want to even look at a carry on bag with wheels, you can use it for other things and it will hold all you listed. Since I do different types of shooting I have a bag for each style of shooting whether it be just pistols shooting, rifle shooting, or cowboy shooting. I have never found a bag that works for all my different types of shooting.

      A regular, non-descript wheeled travel "suitcase" works for me. Modified the inside to hold all I need to carry to the range. I think I paid 5.00 at a thrift store for it.

      NOTE: I don't do USPSA or 3 gun. I can get most of what you have listed in the bag except the ears. I probably could if I removed two of the four pistols though. (...about 21x15x11)

      Respectfully

        If I bought a new range bag today, knowing everything I know now, my opinion is just one word.

        Backpack.
