What do you take to the range? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

The obvious things are Firearms, ammo,eye and ear protection, and targets.
Anything else?

My Range bag is FULL. All my cleaning stuff/small tools included. Just in case you might need to clean/lube something while your there.

+1

I also take the sticky targets that show green (forgot the name) to stick on the center of my targets.

My MGM Auto Popper with the sniper base. I want to get the Colt Speed plate and the pipe base to go with it. Very cool!! Sometimes I sneak in some Tannerite.

My range bag has cleaning supplies and tools...punches, brass hammer, pliers, etc.

Same tools as everyone else for the most part plus a spotting scope, and a rifle, because sometimes there are things past 100yrds that need shooting too.
Oh yeah, and a first-aid kit (the one thing I hope I never need), because you never know.

Take the same as everyone else, but also take several ol-t-thirts that have heen cut to large squares - good for cleaning, putting your items on. I like to use the tshirt squares to dump a box of rounds on and load from the tshirt rather than the tray.

A couple of other items -

pocket hand warmers - the kind you squeeze to activate. usually about 4 for $2
speed loader
mag holder for the belt
several holsters (have a cheapie shoulder rig, nylon holster that clips to my jeans pocket and my Don Hume OT) which I usually wear
gloves - fingerless type
large freezer bag for spent brass

I wear contacts - so I take wetting solution and a cleaner as well
realy small bottle of wateless hand soap

I get all of my stuff in an old notebook leather carry case and carry ammo in a plastic ammo box I got from Cabella's.

Thanks for the help. I wanted to be prepared.
I went from a small bag that was half full to a very large bag that is stuffed full. I have never been to a range before. I have one set up on my property, but the neighbors get mad when I shoot my AR.Thanks again!
