huafist Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) This has probably been asked to death, and if so, I apologize. A search didn't uncover a lot of useful info for me. That being said... How are you guys carrying your gear at the range - specifically, ammo? I really don't like the idea of having 5 different ammo cans. My son & I are new to 3 gun, our first match will be this coming month. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

racknrider Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Wagon, buggy, stroller, back of the car. lots of options, just depends on the match. Welcome to 3gun, kiss your disposable income goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 i normally load up my AR mags at home, enough for the whole match in various configurations (ie a long range mag with 75g; buncha blaster mags with 55, maybe a coupled mag with 55 and 75). then i bring 25-50 round boxes of other ammo - pistol, shotgun, all in my large range bag which generally rides in my converted baby stroller.

ziebart Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Larger ammo cans in the car, with a small bags of 223 / 9mm in the gun bag. Only carry as much as I think I will use before going back to the car. Normally I won't make a trip back during a local match. I may during a major when they have us driving to different areas of the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmoreno88 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 i use a 2 rifle bag/backpack to carry shotgun and rifle. A 5.11 range bag for handgun and all ammo. My local matches arent ridiculously huge so I only carry 150rds pistol rds, 50 shotgun shells and 9 AR mags. Most have wagons or jogging strollers but I don't fine with the backpack and carry bagSent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatland Shooter Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Depending on the terrain at the match and which vehicle I'm taking, I haul stuff around in a Rugged Gear cart or a modified Harbor Freight welding cart. The HF cart has 21" bicycle wheels and is great for rocky areas. To carry ammo, I load up the magazines the night before. For additional ammo, I use three Ikea plastic boxes. One for 9mm ammo (holds over 200 rds but I usually load it with less to conserve weight) and two for rifle shells. The boxes come in different colors. Blue is for 9mm, white is for hoser .223, and green is for the 77 gr long distance stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huch Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I use the emdom split ammo sacs. They hold a lot of ammo and are easy to carry (if you get the shoulder strap), plus they are divided down the middle so I can carry rifle and pistol ammo in the same bag. I have another one for shotgun ammo that has birdshot in one side and slugs/buckshot in the other. Highly recommend them. http://www.emdomusa.com/Emdom-MM-Split-Ammo-SAC-p/eu149a.htmSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsk Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Jogging stroller with ATV gun mounts clamped to the sides. Ammo - rifle and pistol in the main compartment with the range bag, shotgun underneath. When my son or sons are with me it's two strollers.

huafist Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm gonna go look at wagons & stuff this weekend. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 the bad thing with the wagons is that your guns are rolling around muzzling everyone and ditto, or at least more potential for, muzzling while putting on or taking off. the jogging strollers, with guns roughly at 45 degrees, lessen this likelihood due to the vertical angles. $20 or so used on craigslist then add the gun brackets etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamriser Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I use a Safariland 3 gun case for my guns and loaded mags. I preload the mags the day before, and only loaded mags go into this bag. It also holds chokes and chamber flags, but basically nothing else. I have small screw-top containers to hold the day's pistol and rifle ammo. Shotgun shells stay in factory boxes. My ammo, spare mags, eyes, ears, food, water, and some tools and spare parts ride in a backpack to each stage. In the truck is a large bag with the rarely-needed rifle mags, more parts and tools, and so on. Plus ammo cans of 223, 9mm, and a case of birdshot and lots of slugs. You can never have to much ammo.

Thaunk Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I bought an off road cart from amazon for about $40. The only problem I've run into is I had to cut material out of the ATV gun racks as they have a diamond shape and I needed to make them square to sit on the bars properly. It's done a full season of 3 gun and seems to be going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxerglocker Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) I went to from being way over OCD about round counts and carrying individual ammo boxes to just using these http://www.tuffproducts.com/4097-tuff-3-gun-ammo-bag-set-of-3/ I put all 3 in a large plastic ammo can to carry on my cart if raining, on good dry days just lay them on top of my range bag withing the cart. I really like that I can keep the corresponding mag loader in the pistol/rifle (Red/Blue) ammo bag so it's always there when I need it. In the shotgun (Black) bag there is plenty of room for shells plus throwing in my extra caddies when not needed. I preload a couple of pistol and rifle mags prior to leaving home and usually have 200 pistol, 200 rifle and 125 shot shell in bags. I carry heavy shot, slugs and buckshot in the bottom of my range bag or ammo can as needed for the match.

CZinZA Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I've just moved to the US and my shooting gear hasn't arrived yet. So my range stuff is currently carried in a Walmart bag (at least until the bag tears).Sent from my SCH-I545PP using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCKLST Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I use a 3gun bag from Midway to transport to the range then move everything to a Rugged Gear stroller. I load up all magazines and caddies the night before and put them with spare boxes of ammo in a 5.11 range bag in the stroller. I was carrying everything in the 3 gun bag at first but since getting the stroller moving between stages has been much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
