Range Bag Ideas & Selections....

[MikeBjerum]

I have three different style bags:

1.  Soft tool bag that I use for all my first aid supplies;

2.  Three S&W range bags (the ones you get free ... you pay a few hundred for and they give you a free handgun with it);

3.  Three slightly smaller cheap bags with no outer or inner pockets.

I stock my S&W bags for each of the games I like to play.  One will have everything I need for Cowboy, one will be all set for USPSA, and one for bullseye.

The green bags are used for extra ammunition or misc. supplies that don't fit in the others.

Depending on the time of year some bags will be switched out.  In the winter I don't shoot SASS, so that bag will be switched to smallbore.

I have learned that it is much easier to find time for shooting if I am organized and ready.  By having the bags all set up, I can grab and go.  When I get home from a time of shooting, I try to do all restocking, repair, etc. within 48hrs.  By having multiple stocked and staged bags I have learned that I can be prepared and arrive at the range with every possible need - Ear plugs, muffs, gloves, batteries, timers, recorded range commands, targets, squib rods, tools, fiber optic rods, safety glasses, eye shades, ...

I wish I could give better descriptions and sizes, but I have not seen my bags in three months.  I can't wait to get my FOID card, so I can be reunited with my toys.

I use this. It holds a lot of ammo, eyes, ears, magazines. Gun travels in holster or clamshell.

I really like that idea.  In fact, all of the ideas. 

The thing I've been doing that is wrong is trying to do it all with one bag with the exception of my blowout kit which is:

I'm going to have to look at that Louie's lunch box or similar for an ammo carrier.  I clearly need to make a decision on multiple bags and their purposes....

I use a cheap duffel bag with a solid but flexible reinforced bottom. The main compartment holds a couple of pistols in soft cases, ammo, paper targets, and a staple gun for hanging targets on the wooden backboard at an outdoor range. The side pocket holds a cleaning kit if I'm in a mood to take it. One end is full of foam earplugs. The other end is the "mystery pocket". I can't remember what I had in there the last time. At least one pair of safety glasses goes somewhere in the bag.

Right after that last post I began using  some items from Elite Survival systems(Recon is also one of their brands) I got the smokescreen concealed Backpack and I have their Patrol/Range bag which I could put my 44lb Staffie/Bulldog mix in if I wanted with room to spare..

I've got 2 MidwayUSA bags, but I rarely use the big one anymore, it's actually siting downstairs covered in various forms of dust - saw- and other. I do manage to fit everything into the medium sized bag, even when shooting multiple guns.

I did take a permanent marker and tone down the logo somewhat - seriously dislike a neon billboard on the side of a gun bag!
