Im looking to get a post started about range gear and set ups - links to products and reviews would be great - what works what doesn't (pics are a bonus) I am looking for everything from guns to ammo/clips, ect
Well in my range bag is the following 2x ear protection 2x eye protection Spotting scope binoculars first aid kit leatherman , couple different screwdrivers and allen keys small pliers pen pencil sharpie Towel targets Thats about it . I load an ammo can with whatever ammo I need for the day
My range bag has the following: Ammo eye protection ear protection towels targets knife misc. tools (screwdriver, allen wrenches, punches etc.) binoculars pencil or pen highlighter masking tape 2 to 4 Glocks oh yea, and more Ammo
Basically mine is the same set up with extra cleaning supplies due to taking it as my hunting/portable gun repair bag too... I am an EMT and have changed my medical supply setup multiple time and as a result I have EMS bags left over not being used, therefore I use them as range bags My latest range bag is a Ferno EMS ALS bag with module pouches... I use the pouches as portable kits to just grab and go sometimes and all the elastic loops work great holding all of the items securely
Heard nothing but great things about the midway range bag and as you can see it has the module system like I use with the ems bag, very simple and effective, I recommend the midway range bag to any new or veteran sport shooter out there
My buddy has the midway bag. It's pretty nice. I have a bag I bought off eBay for 18.00 and love it. Got a **** ton of mag pouches that fit stock boxes of ammo too. Worth 18.00 to me. Nothing strong though. The midway bag is thicker than mine.
I use a UTG Tactical Shooter's Bag. My set up is still a work in progress. Suggestions welcome. Hearing Protection Extra glock 19 mag with speed loader Staple gun and staples Gun rug Masking tape Sharpie Leatherman Towel Cable lock Cleaning supplies (currently keeping everything together) Range ID Only thing I need to drop in is ammo when I leave for the range
My setup sounds quite similar to what's been mentioned, with one exception: It may sound wierd but we take some roofing nails along. The range where we shoot uses 2" thick foam board for the target backstop. Most people use a staple gun to attach the targets, and that works pretty good. But if it's windy at all, the staples don't always seem to hold. So we took some roofing nails one time and they worked great. They push into the foam very easily with a finger, the big nail head holds the target nicely, they pull out of the target / foam easily for target changes, and they are reusable so cost nothing compared to staples. Just a thought. Edited to add: I second the motion on the Midway range bag! Very roomy, very well constructed, etc.
That's a great idea with the roofing nails, I take a hammer type staple gun, masking tape, thumb tacks, and those black office paper clips in case I need to use something different... I don't take a lot so my bag is overloaded, just enough to get by or to share with a neighbor shooting next to me
Tell her if she loved you she would buy you this . Last time I was at the range we saw an old man next to us using it . It was an outdoor range and worked really good !!! At an indoor range this would clean up (literally) http://www.cleanairgardening.com/pecantool.html
