Range Bag Recommendations

[Merc1138]

^I agree. If you're not lugging around shotguns and rifles the previous suggestions should do you well. If you're going to be needing room for a shotgun or rifle you can't go wrong with the Voodoo Tactical. Definitely makes my trips to the range a lot easier. Has enough room for the above mentioned with room to spare for other things like eye and eat pro. Lots of pockets however it doesn't come with a tactical voodoo doll with ninja like piercing pins.

Eat pro? Like a ziplock sandwich bag?

Haha...good catch. Nothing wrong with a little snack in the range bag though, for those extended days on the range.

Since I can't make it to the range today, I'll post up some pics of the range bag I ended up buying loaded up with what I usually bring out with me

It looks to be a nice bag and a nice price too!

From a crappy anti CA retailer, yay!

Midway's bags seem to have durability issues, imo

not sure how folks abuse their bags and/or load them up, but i've had one of these:

going on over a year now and it's fine. it's actually on sale it looks (again)... and i know it goes on ridiculous fire-sale towards the holidays (among other things) almost every year, so keep an eye out.

I use the midwayusa compact range bag. I put 2 pistols in the inside side slots and then ammo, ears and whatnot in the middle inside. Plus side pocket and 7 mag slots on the other side. I like it a lot.

You can easily overload the Midway 'large' competition range bag, but I haven't broken it yet (I'll always carry it on my shoulder, thinking if this will be the day the shoulder strap rings will break).

Sometimes I'll take 3 or 4 pistols with me, and they'll each be in their own small soft case that has a padlock on it. Throw in some ears & eyes, some rags or small cleaning supplies, misc stuff, etc. The bag is still very light with lots of room.

Then you start to throw in your loaded up magazines (like 2-4 mags per each gun), and carry extra ammo boxes with you. With that many guns I take, just about all of them are always different calibers so I'm always carrying boxes of .22LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP. When that's all said & done, I've had my bag weigh between 45 - 50 lbs (yes, I checked each time on a scale).


I've used a carry-on 'suitecase' style bag before when I also had to carry a couple of long guns with me. With my pistols, long guns, and ammo, it weighed 90 lbs .

Ok, this definitely gives me an idea. I will definitely pop for the smaller Midway bag. I just don't need all that room for range days. If I need more, I will buy the larger bag. Having both can't hurt.

Will try to post a review after I order.

Friends don't let friends shop at CTD.

A friend gave me a finnish gas mask, the satchel for it makes an awesome range bag. I think you can still find the mask with the full kit for about $20. Also looks pretty good when I take out my milsurps.

This one doesn't look like it can be locked.

What should I know about CTD?

What should I know about CTD?

Like I said previously, they're an anti CA retailer. Try ordering basic ar-15 parts from them(among other things). They claim all sorts of perfectly legal items are illegal in CA, which is why once every 1-2 weeks we have someone posting a thread asking why a stock or a sling is illegal in CA, then we have to explain that CTD is run by morons and they need to spend their money elsewhere. The worst aspect of this is that some businesses use CTD and Sportsman's Guide as examples of what is legal to sell and what isn't(which is clearly dumb to do, but they do it anyway since they're lazy), limiting the number of retailers or auction sellers that we can buy from even further.

Just picked up te voodoo tactical scorpion range bag. From my first impressions this thing is very well made. Very very sturdy looks like it will be able to hold a bunch of stuff and for 45 bucks can't beat it.
