What's In Your Bag?
I'm sure we all go to the range at least once a week to keep our skills at the ready.
I'm sure we all have a "range bag" for our firearms and ammo. But, What else do you carry in your bag? I use the El Prado Shooting Range, which is as most of you know, "out doors" and I like it that way. Since the weather lately has been somewhat hot and humid, even at 8am, I was wondering what everyone else carries. I carry: Eye Protection - RZ87+HD with Yellow Lens', My wife's have "pink" lenses and to be honest, they creat a better sharpness. They are also very good for night driving. Ear Protection - Caldwell's E85 Sound Right Stereo Hearing Protection, "Stops Sound over 85 dB", Magnifies Sound under 85 dB. These are inexpense and work great. I can hear my down stairs Television when I'm upstairs. Also good for hearing what those "evil teens" are secretly talking to their friends about on the phone in the other room. Staying Healthy - I will admit I'm somewhat of a health freek, but that's a good thing. I carry a Quart Size ziplock bag full of ice. 1 half gallon of bottled water. 1 or 2 Apples 1 or 2 Banana's Several Servings of Jack Links - Teriyaki Beef Jerky, which contains Sodium - 25%, for hydration Carbs - 5 grams, energy Protien - 14 grams, extra energy So, What do you carry in your range bag?

When I go to the range or an IDPA or IPSC match my bag contains:
Not in my bag but just as important: My prescription Polaroids for eye protection. Even though we have 300+ days of sunshine, I have a golf rain suit in my vehicle. I clean after each session but I also bring along another box full of cleaning stuff, just in case. I also bring along a cooler w/some cold, non-caffeinated beverages like Propel. And last but not least, toilet paper, just in case the porta-potties don't have any.

A zip-loc bag of reloads, ear protection, an extra magazine (or two) and a recycled lint free surgical drape to lay my pistol on.
Simple me.
