Range Bags

[Watcher]

For some obscure reason it is the fashion in these parts to make hugely over-engineered wooden boxes to contain everything that one could possibly want on the range. Then you have to add a large holdall for your shooting jacket, telescope etc. The only good thing about the box is that you can sit on it (stand on it, drive a truck over it, launch a rocket from it) but it weighs a ton and has many sharp corners. Still its good for putting LERA stickers on!

Anyone else go for the "Walter Mitty" way of transporting pistols during the "good ol' days"?

Sunday morning motorbike ride to the range, 300 rounds, ear defenders and flask of Nato tea in a ruck sack and pistol in a shoulder holster......?

Or was that just me....? :lol:

I have an old and original drag bag for an L96A1 that holds my AI, a very small folding mat, bolt, waterproof trousers, a small cleaning kit, range finder, 60 rounds of 7,62x51 a small squeeze bag and the obligatory mars bar or whatever. Sling it over my shoulders and off I go. I can keep both hands free and spend a morning plinking at 1000-1200.

Compare that to my F Open system. 10kgs of rifle, a trolley, box, front rest, rear bag, range bag with bolt, ammunition sorted for each distance, plot sheets, two towels, cleaning gear, a couple of towels to cover the scope and action with if it rains, flask of tea, shooting glasses, spare stuff. Argh.....

Peronsally no but I do know an RFD who used to find it funny to step of his Harley, jacket undone to expose a Desert Eagle in a shoulder holster at petrol stations. The police waited a long while before they could nail him for something but they got him in the end and he is no longer an RFD.

For the local range I use a 5.11 Tactical Bail out bag in Tan. Works very nicely and has enough room for what I need. For a Range day, Either the Aim Rifle Bag or Eberlestock Drag bag. Does the Job nicely. There is also a nice roller Molle bag by Warrior assault systems that may just be the answer to carrying kit to the FP.

I use a large tackle bag. It has an insulated centre part, which means my ammo stays cool in our hot Aussie summers. Two side bags which hold paperwork on one side, and crap on the other. hehehe.

Underneath is another zipped area which holds my rain gear, and plastic sheet etc.
