Bill Schwab Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 There's a great thread on this somewhere, but I can't find it. I could swear it was under the Misc Beginer's forum, but I guess it's not. I'll keep looking. Bill (Edited by Bill Schwab at 12:28 pm on Mar. 28, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 !!!!!!Shameless Plug!!!!!! Check the next issue of Front Sight magazine (I hope it's the next issue!) for an article on this very subject by the brilliant, handsome, world traveled, all around great guy, and sometimes even halfway decent shooter.......ME! I think Robin Taylor was mumbling something about trying to get into the Sept.? issue. ps watch this space for more shameless plugs on more insightful, tasteful, & inspiring magazine articles and they even got good gammar too!

Steve Anderson Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 While we're at it, who carries a spare gun vs. parts to fix a broken gun? SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Something I discovered with laptops that has transferred to shooting: your bag will want to fill to slightly over capacity, no matter what that capacity is. This is why I don't get a bigger bag than my Dillon. I have a spare gun, so I bring that-- spare parts all in one handy package. I don't usually carry it around with me though.

Nolan Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 Here's a list of what I carry. I don't have a spare gun so I carry a pretty comprehensive list of spare parts (too many years spent riding Harleys long distances and as an electronics field service engineer have made me a little compulsive about carrying EVERYTHING I could possibly need.) Accessory gear bag: Shoes Gore-Tex socks Rain gear (one-piece motorcycle suit for those daylong downpours & lightweight 2 piece for intermittent showers) Gloves (leather work gloves and Glacier Gloves for cold) Sweatshirt Clean Tee shirt, socks, & underwear (don’t ask) Bandana Hand/foot warmers Umbrella Hat Garbage bags (rain covers for rangebags) Instant cold pack, & wrap Ace Bandage Cool wrap neckerchief Sun Screen Shoestrings Range Bag: Gun Holster and belt Knee and elbow pads Gun dust cover Ear muffs and ear plugs First aid kit Rule book Calculator Notepad & pen Fitted and tested spare parts: Guide rod, & recoil spring plug Hammer, Sear, Disconnector, & Ambi safeties Extractor Ejector Firing pin, & firing pin stop Pin set Slide stop Mag. catch, & Catch lock Barrel link Sear spring, Mainspring, Firing pin spring, Mag. catch spring & Plunger tube spring Bomar Rear sight blade, cross pin, & spring C-more dot module Scope battery Grip screw, & scope mount screws Cleaning gear: Gun oil, & grease in precision needle oilers Bore cleaning solvent Cleaning patches, & Q-tips Compact cleaning kit with jags, brushes, and rods Bore-Snake Lens pen scope cleaner Tools: Pin punch set Take down pin Hex key set Extractor tension gauges Needle file set Sear stone Super glue 1½-inch inside diameter clear plastic tubes: Magazine springs Magazine followers Magazine brushes Cleaning brushes Squib rod Dillon ammo bag: Double the ammo the match requires. Small Ice chest Water Coca Cola Powerbar/Goo Fruit Frozen Gogurt Tuna snack kit Sandwich Red Bull (generally for the drive home) You will just have to read the Front Sight article to find out how I lug all this (and more!) around.

TMC Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I have found (from other forms of racing over the years) that best way to ensure you will not need anything extra is to waste countless hours planning, packing and bringing everything "just in case". In my case, if I brought it I didn't need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Hobdell Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 I do carry 2 guns but what else is in the bag I am never too sure, the one thing I do know is that the bigger the bag the heavier it gets. And I never seem to have what I want when I need it. I always figutre if I have the magazines the rig, ammo and the guns I am good to go.............. lack of preperation i know.
