OK, you are heading out to the range for a little relaxation or in preparation for your next mandatory qualifying shoot. You pack your favorite firearm, of course (more than one if the day is meant to be just for fun) and more than enough of the appropriate ammo. But then what?
What else do you take, besides shooting glasses and ear protection? Do you carry anything for emergencies -- to your person or to your firearm? And if so, what exactly are you packing? Can you share any of your tips, learned from long experience or personal situations, that can help your fellow forum members?
In my bag, for instance, I always carry some band-aides and ibuprofen, a jeweler's screwdriver, a couple of dental picks (really handy for some particularly nasty FTEs), a silicon rod and reel cloth (I don't like fingerprints to linger even between the range and the time it takes me to get home and start the real cleaning process), and a small bottle of good gun lube/oil (outdoor ranges can be windy and dusty). I'll bet that you own range bags have all sorts of other gogdies that are essential to your own needs.
How about it, guys? What's in the bag?
