My range bag has been ruthlessly culled over the years. These five things never get left behind.
- Electronic ear pro — hear range commands, kill the muzzle blast. Non-negotiable.
- A real torque driver — stops you from over- or under-tightening optic screws.
- A dump pouch — for brass, empty mags, and the stuff your pockets can’t hold.
- A simple target stand — cardboard and pasters beat fancy reactive steel for practice.
- A first-aid / trauma kit — the one piece of gear you hope to never open.
Notice what’s not on the list: anything tacticool that looks great and does nothing.
