    I also keep the a copy of the rules for the various shooting sports in my bad. Although, as I write this I should download copies in to my tablet and smartphone.

    I also keep a timer in the bag.

    I have two. The primary is the one I lug around the range w/ me. The other is just-in-case. Here is my typical competition load-out (going from memory):

    The bag I carry:
    Eyes/Ears
    gun (in smaller bag for carrying to safe table)
    Ammo
    Mags
    belt/holster/mag pouches (not usually "in" the bag, but looped over the handles)
    timer
    water
    pens/sharpies
    calculator
    rule book
    scoring overlays
    camera
    small gun parts (springs, firing pins, extractors, scope batteries, fiber optic, etc... common breakage items, pre-fit if necessary)
    simple/small tools (punches, lube, a few Q-tips, brass extractor)
    gerber multi-tool
    Squib rod
    brass bag
    bandaids
    rag
    electrical tape
    lens pen
    hats
    leather work gloves

    Second bag:
    back-up gun
    additional ammo
    larger/less-likely-to-need tools/parts
    cleaning rod
    notebook
    garbage bags
    med kit
    dry socks
    poncho
    various kinds of tape
    rags
    flashlight holster and spare batteries/bulbs
    Q-tips
    lighter
    Sunscreen
    Bug spray
    Tissues

    Most of the stuff never gets unloaded. except for guns/ammo it's pretty much grab-n-go.

    I think you need more than a basic FAK for a range bag.Of course it all depends what you call basic.I would make sure to have a small kit with a few bandages to treat little scratches and cuts but also with a large blood stopping capabilities.

    this yes. I've looked at the "ready made" kits and they don't have what I want. I have a kit in my car that's general purpose but probably more then most people have but it's not what I want. I'm thinking, like you said, cuts, scratches, slide bites, blood stopping, bug bites, minor burn from hot brass? I don't know. I tend to overplan and overprepare. Everytime we go to the range I add something :rockwoot:
