Shooting Range Bag Essentials: What Every Bag Should Include 

My range bag carries 2 pistols, 8 loaded magazines, 5-6 50 rd. boxes of pistol ammo, 2 sets of eye protection, Multiple sets of foam/plastic ear protection, UpLula, 2 screw drivers, a sharpie and a small rag. I hang my muffs on the carry straps. Maybe a small needle oiler but usually not, my firearms are range ready. In total about 1/3 rd the size of your set up. My rifle setup is a little different but I usually focus on either pistol or rifle, rarely both. Any spotting gear is separate and not in my range bag. My vehicles have water,medical kits and fire extinguishers that remain in the vehicle at all times.

During "covid", MidwayUSA really came in handy. They were my GO TO place for ammo. I do like the looks of the MidwayUSA range bag and I always keep it on my radar in case I pick up another range bag.

Ice bag...mine must be made by midway but sports the M&P logos. Lots of room and plenty of little pockets to separate things. The difference is mine came with 2 small pouches for my pistols that fit inside. We have a rule at our range that we keeps pistols on one table and Ammo on another for reloading, I use my inner bag for Ammo.. quick and easy to pull out and put on the table. Great post..

Ok I had typed a whole long paragraph but I got only one sentance. Gun Ranges can have freak accidents and guns exploding. You need some medical in that bag. other than that you brought everything but the medical. You present your information well and I enjoy the videos. Also if you don't carry medical because your not trained or something. Get trained and get some medical you have guns on you. You should know how to deal with what can happen even on the .001% chance a gun could explode in your hand. shouldnt you be able to wrap your hand up until paramedics get there to avoid bleeding out. I dunno just thats like a big concern in the 2A community.

I love Maglula loaders. The one I keep in my range bag is lime green so I can find it easier.

We’re are the guns?

Agree with range bag size! I take 2-3 bags and now looking at a G.P.S. rolling range bag and will probably fill it.

IFAK w/ TQ??

Wow,I pack light 3 mags 2 boxes of 50 rounds ears and 👀. 100 rounds in hour,I'm done and out. To each is own.

I don't know a range bag as a bag for gun carrying. I understand them as bags that u keep ear muffs in, plenty of blank printer paper for targets, target stickers (shoot'n'see type deals), thumb tacks for the paper, cleaning supplies, pens and what not, a small vice or rest, a bore scope, bore light, common tools like allen keys and what not, ammo boxes, binoculars, and a range finder. I don't see them as bags that u carry guns and mags in, that's what a Pelican hard case or seahorse hard case is for (I use seahorse ones). I have a Seahorse 4 pistol hard case that holds 12 mags in the case plus even more if u wanna put them in the center compartment for whatever you want. I carry all my ammo in a hard case from Sea horse as well so I don't carry the factory boxes with me.

Missing a staple gun and staples. An empty chamber indicator flag would also be a nice option. Should have a small blowout/trauma kit on the outside of the bag as well. Kit should be clearly visible and marked with a red cross. I usually have a laminated card with my identifiers, blood type, and medical allergies indicated. Just some thoughts... Lead wipes for cleaning your hands after extended shooting would also be key, so many people forget this and it's SO important for your health!

First aide kit

Yikes there is a lot of "just in case" stuff in that bag. I wouldn't want to carry all that extra stuff each time I go to the range. I'm more of a load and unload my bag each time I go to the range type of guy. I have a checklist and I load to that checklist. I like to clean my mags, shootings glasses, etc after each trip. This has the added benefit of being able to see if something is out of place. To each their own.

I also carry a staple gun with extra staples, both clear and sun safety glasses and safety glass wipes, water to keep hydrated, extra set of keys for your gun locks and ammo cases, binoculars, safety g

Does anyone know if this thing has molle straps?

What is the model of this bag please?

I didn’t see a med kit of any kind?

Dude...lol...your wasting a lot of space in that bag with unnecessary stuff. A crecent wrench? Gun belt? Multiple holsters? Ratchet screwdriver? Punch set? Full can of oil? And who forgets targets when going to the range? You've got no pockets open for your guns & that bag is huge? Lol. Relax & get rid of half that crap man. Complete Overkill full of unnecessary stuff in my opinion. I have the same bag, but 5.11 I pack ammo, eye & ear protection, small binoculars, same Lula speed loader you have, 1 pistol in each pistol pocket, small note pad & pen, 2 diff size small flat head screw drivers for sight adjustment, staple gun to prevent target curl up, mags in mag pocket. Glock mag pouch with additional mags under center compartment.

Wheel barrel not included.

This bag is at Walmart for $40

5.11 is junk, I wish Tumi made range bags! Go for quality, but I bought mine at a sporting goods consignment store for $8 and fits everything perfectly.
