Range bag setup and essentials

[calistanga]

Hi everyone,I was curious about other members range bag setup and gear. I just recently joined the local range here in town and my first visit was a good one but notice other members with bags on bags of gear. I know shooting can be an expensive hobby but I would like to know what are the basic gear to have when going to the range.

♤ Bingo. Chip clips. I am going to get some from the $ store asap. Great idea. Back on topic... Make sure you bring a good clear head. Make sure you are aware of things around you.

Indoor or outdoor range?

[calistanga]

Never thought to take a water bottle, but I think I'm on the right path on everything else, but my bag never looks as full as everyone else's ... guess I need to bring more "rum and coke".

Stapler
Box of staples
Sharpie
Chamber flags for those ranges that require them
