As to the bag itself, I recently got one of these--

It can hold a lot of stuff if need be, but is not so large as to be come a beast. I like the way that the two dividers in the main compartment can be configured however you want. One minor caveat is that the shoulder strap is not detachable. In actual use, I find that this is really not an issue.

Being a cheap bastid, for targets I use white paper plates with Post-it notes glue sticked in the center. I staple them square for iron sights, and on diamond for scope cross hair reticles.

I have a separate bag for pistols, rifles, and the sporting clays ranges. This is my pistol bag.

Stapler
Box of staples
Sharpie
Chamber flags for those ranges that require them
Ears & eyes + foam plugs
Plastic grocery bags to put spent brass in
Small set of binoculars

The grey man bag that does not scream im going to the shooting range or I love guns. My back pack looks ordinary.

OP, Check out some of the gear and set-ups other shooters are using and take note. Some guys bring so much stuff, they spend more time fooling around with crap instead of shooting. After a couple of trips to the range, you'll likely have it figured out. Just some basic things.

Just got this delivered yesterday, time to change my whole setup:


Before this going from my upstairs apartment to the car with all the different hand gun cases, ammo boxes, rifle bags etc was always annoying. I think with this and a single double gun bag I could easily have a nice range day. Looks like it's very high quality and has marked places for the usuals (glasses, ear protection, magazines, ammo, 4 handguns, etc etc)

[SnWnMe]

Eye Pro
Ear Pro
extras of above
Sight tools
Lube
Basic cleaning tools
Notepad and pen

Anything else will be specific to your needs. I always have moonclips, my 1911 holster and mag holders and extra 1911 magazines.

The most important thing to have inside a gun bag here is a printed out copy of the California gun laws.

Better to argue the merits in the field than at the police station. Arm yourself before you leave the house.
