Hi all,

I am new to the shooting sport  and currently I am looking for a good range bag.

I was wondering if you could show what kind of range bags you all are using so that I have an idea what to look for.

I have looked at the Maratac range bag, but does not know if it is good or not.  

Thanks for your ideas.

I have THIS range bag.  It's huge.  And awesome.  And a good deal, even at the regular price.

I have heared a lot of good things about the Midway bag. I usually use my Camelbak Motherlode. When I get around to buying a bag I'll consider the Midway one seriously. A plastic bag also works

Ill throw another vote for the midway range bag. just try not to load it completely, you may need a dolly to move it at the range...


If you show up at the range with a plastic wal-mart bag as your gear bag, you better be able to shoot.

I bought one of these from Midway and it's dam near a suitcase, it's huge.
Much bigger than I need.

I also have an Allen bag I got at wallyworld for $20, it's what I use.
Might be worth a look. Comes with two pistol rugs, made of canvas.
Plenty of room for ammo, ear protection, mags ect.

Here's the Allen bag, about a third of the size

I have purchased three of these over the years as gifts (Dad, brother-in-law, college roommate for his wedding), and they have been universally well-regarded by the recipients.

I have the original version of the Dillon Range Bag (from which MidwayUSA borrowed their design, methinks).  I love it.

I've got the 5.11 bag that looks suspiciously like the Midway and the Dillon bags. As noted above, if you fill it to capacity you likely won't be able to to carry it.

Lately I've just been using one of the LA police gear bail out bags.

I have Dillon.  Guess I bought it 5yrs ago.

I can't think of a single thing to make it better.

I bought an Eagle Industries Range bag almost 12 years ago and expect to use it for the rest of my life.

Wow!  They were NOT that expensive in 1998.

I use a Gunmate range bag.  Its big enough to carry everything I need at the range (but not to big to make it too heavy to pick up).  Runs about $25.

I've used a five gallon bucket
and right now now I use a duffle bag I got for free
it's just for hauling shit from home to car, from car to range, pretty simple, no need for a fancy ass "range bag"

I dunno how big you are looking for.  I saw a deal on milspec monkey about a new Maxpedition bag that has three sizes and i was thinking the smaller one would work great as a range bag.  I don't carry a ton of shit to the range though, i keep my cleaning supplies in a seperate tool box either in the car or at home (don't live far from where I shoot).  

I'll edit this in a minute with a link to what i'm talking about.

Ok the first one is the one I was talking about.  Just my opinion though, you may decide you need something larger than that.
