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 bagsLeeHarpe said:
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 thereLeeHarpe said:

I'm half tempted to get that Midway bag but I'm sure my Glock range bag will get jealous.

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.

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 meOuttaHand said:

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)
