Malarky112 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I think the most important think I bring is lead off hand wipes. Lead is nasty stuff and its important to get it off your hands before you grab a snack or after the match. The longer I've been shooting the more stuff I seem to bring, but looking at the above lists it doesn't seem like I'm alone. In my range bag goes bottle of lube with some patches, qtips, leatherman type tool, markers, bore snake, couple of paper towels, mag tool, glock tool, glock front site tool, flashlight (for low light matches) extra batteries for ear pro, optic. Extra foam ear plugs, small screwdrivers, picks, sunscreen, bug spray, , lense cleaning wipes, mag reloader. This year I bought a cart and its probably been my best investment yet.

Chappytactical Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I agree with Malarky112, my range cart has been my best investment. Has saved my broken back on numerous occasions. Well worth the investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admcd Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I take a RealAvid Pistol Multi-Tool to every match, a Leatherman, punches and a bench block. They just live in my bag just in case. A timer and some extra tape/stapler for when, inevitably, the one my squad is using dies or runs out. We can keep going until someone goes to and gets back from the supplies cabinet. Small cleaning kit with brushes and patches and some solvent and lube. I've got an emergency kit in one of the side pouches of my bag with a TQ, combat gauze and the like, too.

93notch Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 My match kit usually includes some spare recoil springs, a hammer spring. I usually always have spare parts to fix holsters and mag pouches with. I have used them more to fix squad members stuff than anything. I also always bring a couple of various size screw drivers and a rod that is used to clear a squib if that were to happen. I also carry a cleaning kit and some oil and cleaner.

broadside72 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Recently added a brass rod and small hammer.... ugh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Part_time_redneck Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Yes Yes & Yes All of the above. Only thing I didn't see mentioned that I keep in the bag is a few zip lock sandwich bags & a clean cloth to make a quick ice compress with. I also always have at least a small ice chest just in case. Hardly ever necessary but nice when you or someone else needs one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoyoteMW Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 If it’s a bigger match or I can’t park close to the bays for quick access to my vehicle, I bring my cart with fully loaded shooting bag. It helps to have one or two large plastic garbage bags in which to place your shooting bag in case it rains. And an extra hand towel or two is often useful. Being tall I like a higher folding stool. Walmart has one for $16 which works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlestiller Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I try to always have a couple towels with me. It never ceases to amaze me the number of people that will go to a match in the middle of summer and spend the whole match trying to use their sleeves to keep the sweat out of their eyes.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tampa-XD45 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Add latex gloves to your kits. It's nice to keep dirt/carbon/grease etc. off of your gear and fancy $100 TechWear shirts when cleaning, oiling or fixing a hardware problem. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlestiller Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Seems like when I started shooting competitions that I took everything but the kitchen sink with me and the more and more that I went I took less and less stuff. But now I am back on the upswing and I am taking more stuff every time I go to a competition or just the range in general. I've seriously considered getting a range cart.

chubs3a Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Recent additions are chalk/hand grip stuff, wipes (regular wipes to clean off the chalk and Lead-off), and a pair of Mechanix gloves to help with tear down in both indoor/outdoor matches. A huge add-on was a rolling cart/wagon for the outdoor matches! But make sure you get the one with the fatter wheels lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
