    I usually take at least a couple of bags at this point. One contains tools, cleaning supplies, and lubricants. Most often I carry ammo in an ammo can. Range bag might contain the following at any given time: electronic muffs, sharpies for marking targets, small ruler, small notebook with pen and pencil, cleaning solution and antifog for glasses, shooting glasses, gloves, pistols and magazines, two staplers with different depth staples, slings (for rifles), brass bag, Uplula mag loader, 12x monocular to check targets, small support bags, small towels, various other sundries.

    Good stuff
    I see a couple of things that I need to add.
    Do most people carry ammo in their bag or in another container?
    Mine is starting to get heavy get heavy

    I always bring my emergency med bag as well. It’s a small shoulder bag with tourniquet, gauze, wraps, scissors, bandages, antibiotic cream, alcohol wipes, etc. I think that’s an important thing to have for yourself or others. Even if just for a bandaid and alcohol pad after catching a little splatter from a steel target or a splinter from the bench.

    Oh gosh... a few different eyes, ears, multi-tools, targets, pasters, water. Always a punch / tool for takedown.

    Trunk box has spray paint for steel targets, paper, tape, stapler, etc.

    I always have an aid kit in my rigs.

    I have two 30 cal cans I put all the tools I might need in one and 1st aid is in the other. It's a little overkill but you never know what you may need. When i go to the range I'm usually there for 4-6 hours before I leave. I make a day of it.
