Is a range bag a necessity?

As a shooter, what else do you need other than your firearm and ammunition?

That is a personal question, that each of you needs to think about. Especially if you are new to shooting and coming to an indoor range (new shooter, please check out the new to shooting page on this blog).

If you ask any shooter, you will be surprised to learn that they all carry different items that they believe is important for them to have a successful shooting session at the range. Each shooter has their opinion of exactly what is needed.

Hopefully, you will decide, as you progress as a shooter, exactly which gear you need to have a successful outing at the range.

Here are a few basic items that you will most likely find in most shooters range bag:

1.) Ammunition

2.) Ear protection

3.) Eye protection

4.) Targets, unless you buy them at the range.
