Putting a Range Kit Together. Any other ideas?

[SteveMac]

As the title implies, I am putting together a range kit, primarily indoor, for me and my wife.

I had a backpack that worked perfectly. It was an old one that my son used to use in high school. This thing has a ton of pockets, as seen below. There are places for the extra magazines, nice padded area for a laptop that will hold the firearms. There is a padded pocket to hold the ear-phones I just ordered. I don't know much about them, Howard Leight brand, but I am going to try them. Click here if you want to view them. I had some old motorcycle riding safety glasses that are transistion lenses, one pair is clear to smoke, the other pair is yellow to smoke, so we will use those. I found some really cool Army surplus first-aid kits that are (inches) 4x3x2 and should hold 100-200 rounds of range ammo for any gun I choose. I ordered five of these because they look tough and are cheap. Click here if you want to see them. I'll toss in a couple of pair of leather gloves, just in case. And I'll probably add some band-aids etc.

Bullet list below, so I'd be open to any other ideas. Obviously don't want to pack the whole house. I'll leave the cleaning kit at home. But I want to make sure I have all I need and that I can just put my hand guns in the case when I am ready to go, and everything else will always be there ready to go.

At the indoor range (less than 5 mi away), they are good guys and have fair prices, so I'll buy extra range ammo and targets there. Gotta support our local folks!

Ideas on anything I missed?

So far here is what I have (some pics below)

• An old back pack that my son had in high school to start.
• Pistols in the soft cases.
• Ordered some Army surplus first-aid kits to carry range ammo.
• I have an Oakley case that will carry two pair of safety glasses. (I hate dirty, smudgy glasses.)
• I have two sets of noise cancelling ear-phones. Howard Leight brand.
• Will have a small tool kit. Nothing major. Screwdriver, etc. Open to ideas.
• Two pair of leather gloves.
• Simple first-aid kit.
• -----Edited to add ideas-----
• Uplula ezloader
• LED mini-mag light and mirror.
• Cheap binoculars.
• Sharpies, red and black.
• Stapler and targets if I go outdoor.

Steve, looks to me like you have it pretty well covered. I think all you missed is a couple of good friends to tag along .

I think you have it all my friend........... except 2 lawn chairs, and an umbrella! Maybe a cooler with refreshments too.

Ok................. I just thought of something else. I like to use a can of spray adhesive to put up targets.... if your range allows that. Also in your tool kit make sure you have a screwdriver that fits your rear sights. Also a snickers bar in the bag would work well too.

Snickers bar......what are you trying to say??

[owens9fingers]

The Snickers bar was just for survival purposes only !!
Oh yeah.............. don't forget the "Brass Magnet" to pick all your empties!!

You don't have to worry about getting old with that model of "Brass Magnet" ...... I think it will work at any age!!
