I have the smaller DAA, and it is great for both general range and matches. I used to have a cart with a range bag, I thought I would get another cart right away. I have been going to matches for a couple of months now and am not sure I will bother with a cart again. The pack is that comfortable. The quality is way above most other stuff I have seen, and the design is really thoughtful. My only complaint is the CED brass bag that came with it is junk. I had the older version before and it was a lot better. Overall, I would say the good design and build quality make it a purchase you won't regret. BTW, I thought the rain fly was a gimmick until the first time it rained at a match. It was great to get home and have everything dry after a day in the rain.
