Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a "wagon" not really a "shooting cart". Are you guys just getting them on Amazon? I like my bag but its big and fullll of crap, I am sick of hauling it around... I'm only30 but I'm ready for a pull cart already :)

I'm a minimalist: I bring only the bare bare necessities...

 

But quite a few of the "loaded for bear" types at my club are happy with this one:

Ok thats what I was looking at. I try and be a bare necessities guy and have 2 bags, one for the range and one for uspsa (which consists of nearly nothing) but then I have to transfer stuff from one to the next which is just calling for me to forget something so I'd rather just have it all together and throw it in a cart and call it a day

I use a rage bag - the midway knockoff of the Shooters Connection one - which has a center section which lifts out.

 

That part carries mags, 200rds, eyes and ears, and very little else. I snatch that out for USPSA and the additional storage for more ammo, cleaning and spares, stapler, tools, etc all stays in the car.

 

When I go to the range for practice, I bring the whole thing out and work out of it.

I put this together with the help of a friend with welding skills. I highly recommend the wider beach wheels, they seem to hold up better to the terrain we have to deal with at some of the ranges.

Now that's pretty darn cool. :)

This is what I use.  The folding table on the back is sturdy enough to use it to load mags.  I carry my range bag, soft-sided cooler, and a small compact folding chair, with a little room to spare.  I've also recently outfitted the wagon with a shade umbrella just big enough to provide a little shade to sit under.

I've got the cart for $40 from Amazon and it works pretty good,  Had I been able to do it again I'd get the Sam's club cart as I feel like the table would be helpful.

 

UFO does the cart fold up at all?

I've recently saw someone convert a jogging stroller to a gun cart.  I liked the way it looked and worked so well, that I was able to find one and make me a gun cart.  I rolls great on all kinds of terrain.  You can find them used at yard sales.

There is a big thread I think in the 3 gun section about converting jogging strollers in to gun carts. I have been using one myself since I started shooting 3gun in March. $20 off online yard sale group. Rolls easy over grass and rough terrain and has a parking brake =) Also nice if you add a sun-brella to it to add portable shade

I found a 2 kid running stroller at a garage sale which I converted to a 3 gun cart however I use a folding wagon now for IDPA/USPSA as it is easier to get into my car.  I'm on the lookout for a better quality folding wagon but have not found "the one".  I like the one pictured in this thread with the table... great job!  you should patent it and start selling them on-line.

Yes, table comes off and legs fold up, then cart collapses as original.

empty out your bag. don't get a cart.

 

part of the joy of pistol shooting is its portability. a cart is like a minivan when you've got one kid. one fat kid.

This is one that regularly makes it to our range.  Ive heard its original purpose was for racing engine movement, but I also suspect it was just something somebody thought was cool to do.  And they were right.

I remember a service rifle competitor showing off a cart he had built from "scrap" material.

Turns out he was a welder at a chemical plant, his cart was made of titanium tubing, very well rendered.

That cart above also looks like a race car fabricator had a couple hours of idle time...
