    Plain Jane, OD green Tactical Taylor bag. Room for everything, even targets.
    Those backpack range bags look like the best idea yet, and ya have both hands free for pointing your fingers in the air and yelling "pew-pew"........................ the RSOs know ya mean business when ya roll up with both index fingers blazin'.

    I use one from Midway. Caught a sale. I have had it ever since I started shooting again and it's still holding up fine. They don't seem to offer my model anymore or I'd post it.

    It holds my ammo, 2-3 pistols, a bucket for range brass pickups, mags, gloves, ear pro, eye pro, batteries, first aid kit(boo-boo kit), pasters, and a few other items.

    I can use it to do a match or training of some kind but when I go to the range, I also have:

    A hard shell poly tool box that has stapler, staples, copies of the drills I do, tools, markers and a few other items.
    A cardboard tube with my silhouette targets rolled up in.

    Though I would like to have some of the fancy stuff that I see others with, as of the last few years I'm trying to squeeze as much as I can out of every penny so I spend where I need to, save where I can. This is part of the reason I won't be doing any 3-gun in my lifetime. :)

    I have the GPS Handgunner as well, which is very useful and carries a ton of stuff. The only downside is that my larger guns (Victory with a CF volquartsen barrel for instance) don't fit. I have an old Glock 4 slot range bag which I take to the range most often. Has plenty of room for 3 or 4 guns and plenty of extra stuff. It's getting long in the tooth and will need replaced soon, which is a shame. It's served me very well. I'll be interested to see if I can find a bag that has similar features to replace it with.

    It's been a while since I've been to the range, but this is my go-to range bag any more. My shoulders are so bad that I can no longer carry a bag or sling one over my shoulder. I have the one with the pink, but most of you guys (except @jedi ) would probably just want the regular Mossy Oak. I got this at Sportsman's Guide several years ago. It's discontinued there, but probably available somewhere.

    I have a Glock 4 pistol range bag. Found it on sale for $30 (yup, I am cheap but it does a fine job and no longer own any Glocks). Has plenty of room for all my stuff when going to the indoor range. When I go outdoors I have a small old duffle bag with a few tools, paint, stapler, gloves, etc. that I bring as well.

    I had been using a bag master since the mid 90's. Replaced it with midway USA small range bag 3 years ago. Upgraded to midway competition bag last year. Midway bags are holding up fine so far. My bags get loaded pretty heavy, hauling guns/gear every week during the season. I use TK pistol and rifle bags, as well as a ruger rifle bag

    Backpack makes it easy to carry a few more guns to the range, very comfy with the extra weight . I still carry my reg 2 gun bag when I take the rifles to the range. Hopefully this thread will help people see what out there for sale.

    I'm a big fan of the soft-sided tool bags (you choose the brand).
    Some have pockets, some have dividers. You can add to them or remove if desired.

    All of 'em are inexpensive and don't look like they have firearms in them.
