    What do you carry in your Range Bag?

    What items do you carry in your range bag? Do you carry your handguns in a different bag other then the range bag? What things should be carried in a range bag? Do you carry more then one range bag with you? Also what is your range bag and how much did you pay for it?

    I'm looking at getting a range bag and just finding out what everyone puts in it. Thanks, Steve

    My rangebag is some "Bulldog" brand bag, pistols go in a pelican case. I paid maybe $20 for it, not sure. Unless I'm only going to an indoor range for a short span of time(like an hour or so) I keep my ammo in other containers.

    Right now it has ear plugs, ear muffs, spare safety glasses, spare cheapo foam earplugs, couple of screwdrivers, knife, ultimate clip loader, small otis cleaning kit, bottle of lube, some shoot-n-c targets, some extra magazines, crappy binoculars, silver and black sharpies(can't see a black sharpie if you have to mark on a black surface), batteries, flashlight, and I think that's about it. If all I'm doing is going to the indoor range for a quick trip I'll throw in a few boxes of whatever handgun ammo I'm going to need that day.

    My rifle bag(5.11 36" double rifle case) has more targets, a long tipton cleaning rod, first aid kits(a basic kit, and another with some quickclot and bigger bandages in it).

    I guess I could pack more in, but I don't really need to.

    edit: I forgot to mention, it's a really basic bag. Has a couple outside zippered compartments, but the main zippered compartment is just an open space without dividers, molle attachments, velcro, etc.

      I mainly go outdoor shooting ranges. My rifles come in their cases, pistols and ammo in a separate bag from the range bag.

      In the range bag.

      Targets
      Rifle ammo in hard cases
      Magazine loaders
      Magazines
      Allen wrenches
      Torque wrench
      Small bottle of oil or clp
      Pen/pencils
      Note pad
      Multi-tool
      Towel
      Band-aids
      Eyes & Ears
      Staple gun
      Masking tape

        I carry a large thick duffel with sides that don't collapse when put down. It isn't "gun specific".

        I like pockets outside of the main bag. This one has one large one that spans the length of one side, and 3 small ones on the other.

        I use ONE bag to carry everything except long guns and targets. This bag holds ammo, 3 handgun cases, and everything else.

        If spending a LONG shooting day, I'll bring a large plastic bucket for ammo specifically. For REALLY long days, I just bring cases in their original box.

        If the range is far away from the car, I use a small flat dolly to move stuff.

        in bag:
        -gun oil
        - a small first aid kit with antibiotic creme & q-tips
        -Bauch & Lomb Sight Savers - wipes to clean glasses with
        -small Shoot n See targets
        -3 sets earplugs/EarPros
        -2 sets shooting glasses
        -electronic muffs hanging on outside of bag
        -multiple small pads to write notes (a MUST for precision rifle)
        -a few cheap clicky pencils
        -10x image stabilized binocular which I use as a spotting scope for pistol/shotgun at less than 50
        -baby wipes (very useful)
        -small bottle of hand sanitizer alcohol
        -tools (separate, not multi)
        -scissors
        -stapler (not the desk kind)
        -brown, white, black tape
        -one roll of gorilla tape
        -shot timer (when I haven't lent it out to someone)
        -mag loaders
        -silver/black/red/blue permanent markets
        -pens in a pencil box (they leak occasionally)
        -CC holster & mag pouches
        -thin cloth belt
        -clean baseball cap
        -a few pairs of nitrile gloves
        -2 magazines (for 2 different guns) (that LIVE in the bag)- went to the range once w/out mags!
        -3 speed strips for revolvers

                        I've got the 5.11 range bag. Carry a pair of gloves for carrying target stands, picking up debris after a shoot, electronic ear muffs, punch tool set, screwdriver, magazines for whatever gun(s) I'm shooting that day, pen, notebook, ammo, mints, UPLula magazine loader, targets, holster, magazine belt holder, and an Otis cleaning kit with all the essentials, shooting glasses, and a SOG multi-tool.

                        My 5.11 tactile rifle case carries all of the above, plus a spotting scope, UPLula AR-15 stripper clip loader (just got this weekend - LOVE IT!), AR-15 10/20 round magazines (20 and 30 rounders if in Reno area BLM land), Otis cleaning kit, targets, staple gun, sharpie, first aid kit, and a sweatshirt.
