Range equipment storage / transportation- what are you using ?

[Irving]

Ideally sure. In reality though, meh.

I am working on setting up a range though, so I suppose that would help.

This is an interesting thread. I went through it twice.... Slow day. After post 15 things sort of got deep.

I usually make it to the range at least once a week if I'm in town. Even if it's only for a short stay (maybe twenty shots--two magazines). Today I only took ten shots with my EDC. I was distracted as hell. Lots going on in my head, not paying attention to breathing, trigger control, sight picture/alignment. But I was there... I loaded five shots in the magazine and sent 'em downrange. I hit the paper. All five of them. That encouraged me to do five more. This time four of them were in the black. I figured I was wasting ammunition after that point so I called it a day.

I guess my point is "How much do you really need to do?" I think EDCs should shot a lot more often than the hunting rifle. This might be a case of "less-is-more". You can dry fire the hunting rifle. As far as the original question goes, I keep a couple of targets and ammunition for my EDC and truck gun in the truck. It requires the space of a shoe box. For more "fun" shoots I load guns/ammo/targets as needed from home.

I picked up one of these and just roll my stuff from the truck to the line.

I decided to locate my range near the storage safe. Then I can just leave my targets out all the time and wander back and forth to the safe for new toys and more ammo. Don't miss loading stuff in the truck.

This is exactly my situation , I don?t get out much , so when I do I have way too much I ?need? to do. So I bring way too much crap , and spend far to much time digging through all of it , and always feel rushed . Thanks for the reply?s so far.

I don't seem to have much time myself and typically only make it out to the range a handful of times a year. I still try not to bring way too much stuff. Off the top of my head, I have four or five rifles I've never fired or sighted in, a couple of handguns that haven't been fired, and two shotguns as well. I might try and bring one or two of the rifles on my next trip. Gives me something to look forward to on my next outing. Actually, I'll probably have something new to play with each trip out for the next couple of years.

Decided on a pair of Rigid boxes. Im diggin it so far.

I try and get to the gun club every other weekend for the most part. Right now I leave all my shooting gear in the trunk in cardboard boxes and canvas bags. Once the holliday's are over I'm gonna steal Mercula's idea and upgrade to thoese ridgid boxes or something real similar. The rubbermaid totes I had didnt last very long.

Rigid boxes - For the man who has everything, and insists on taking all of it to the range with him.

[Erni]

JE, shouldn't you build your AR before you get to the range?

What always worries me about tool boxes is some thieving turd thinking there are tools in there. So no guns in tool boxes for me.

[Irving]

I've come to the conclusion that any container that Coyote conceivably hold a gun, was usually originally intended for something also of high value so it's not a deterrent to thieves.

That said, if you're just going to the range and back, why be worried about thieves?
