Range Gear

  • by

I have been shooting for years now and it seems every year I add more and more gear to my daily range carry. A few people have asked what I carry. 

I will not be discussing the gear we use for reviewing, such as cameras and laptops and other gear as that isn’t what my true daily range carry consist of.

When I first starting shooting alone (pre-GearsofGuns.com) I carried a backpack with ammo, eye and ear protection, a bottle of water and shooting gloves plus the firearms and their respectful cases.

Fast forward to 2015 and I carry:

  • 6-10 long rifle cases each holding 1-8 firearms,
  • Multiple of different slings, holsters and shooting gloves,
    Chest Rig
  • An ice chest with food and water,
  • Full Toolbox
  • Full med kit,
  • 5+ ammo cans and cases of ammo,
  • Spotting scope,
  • Spotting camera with iPad,
  • A box of targets.

  • Cleaning kit with two cans of CLP

My EDC list

If you have ever seen the GEARS Crew show up at the range you know we look like we are packed for the zombie apocalypse.

This list is my basic list of what I personally bring to each range. Each crew member has their own list of what they bring.

What are some of your basics you always carry to the range?
