What to Bring to the Gun Range: A Practical Guide
Heading to the gun range? Preparation is key for both safety and a productive session. Here’s a practical guide on what to bring, from essential gear to helpful extras, ensuring your experience is seamless and enjoyable.
1. Firearm and Ammunition
It may seem obvious, but double-check your firearm and enough ammunition. Always ensure your firearm is clean, functional, and appropriate for the range. Pack a variety of ammo to suit your training needs.
Pro Tip: Invest in a quality ammo case to keep everything organized and accessible.
2. Safety Essentials
Safety is paramount at the range. Bring these must-have items:
- Hearing Protection: Quality earmuffs or earplugs are non-negotiable.
- Eye Protection: ANSI-rated safety glasses protect your eyes from debris.
Bonus: Consider adding a hat for sun or overhead debris protection. Check out our F*ck Communism Hat for a practical and bold option.
3. Range Bag
A sturdy range bag is essential for keeping everything organized. Opt for a bag with compartments to hold your firearm, ammo, tools, and safety gear.
Tip: Use separate pouches for ammo and spent casings to make cleanup easier.
4. Targets and Marking Supplies
Bring paper targets, steel targets, or other preferred options. Don’t forget marking supplies like tape or target stickers to monitor your progress.
5. Tools and Maintenance Gear
Things can go wrong at the range. Be prepared with basic tools like:
- A multi-tool for quick adjustments
- A bore snake or cleaning kit for maintenance
- Screwdrivers or hex wrenches for sights and mounts
Featured Gear: Pair your preparedness with our 'Biden Thinks I'm Garbage' T-Shirt for a classic, patriotic look.
6. Everyday Carry (EDC) Gear
Your EDC setup is an integral part of range practice. Bring your holster, magazine carriers, and any additional gear you carry daily to simulate real-world conditions.
Some gear I personally have found myself in need of at the range would be a Leatherman multi-tool and a reliable pocket knife.
7. Hydration and Snacks
Staying hydrated and fueled is important for focus. Pack water and quick snacks like granola bars or trail mix.
8. Documentation
Always bring your identification, permits, and range membership cards if applicable.
