anything that moves on it's own would be great. especially if it moves fast.
alas, all i could come up with is a tool bag with wheels and a handle like on luggage from lowes. works great as a range bag and i don't have to carry it; it just follows along behind me. that ammo got really heavy!

Only if you are a Redneck Country Boy & happen to live in Deep East Texas. :tiphat:

That’s right! :thumbs2:


O.K. you guys don’t make fun of us “East Texans�.

I admit…..many of us do not have fancy “range bags�, but we manage to get our “stuff� to the range... just the same.

We like to think of ourselves as “resourceful�. ;-)

LT has a “bucket�….but at least his things are organized. I will go ahead and “shame� myself by showing what I usually tote along. :oops:

This is my Deep East Texas “range box� (y’all).

And this is the jumbled mess of stuff inside my DETRB:

And if we start to dig down into my DETRB, this is “some� of what we’ll find:

This is about the minimum I take along. It doesn’t include the weapons, holsters, first aid kit, or any other task specific items I might need. A range bag just wouldn't work for me.

But Flint, you have an essential item that I don't carry in my range bag; toilet paper!! :smilelol5:

All joking aside, you guys get a LOT more stuff into a similar size range box than I do with my bag. Kudos for the ingenuity. :thumbs2:

TP is in the truck toolbox. Saves room in the range bag.

I have a friend from Goliad that uses a carry on suitcase with wheels and collapsible handle.

It works well for him. Maybe he's really from East Texas and doesn't know it. :rolll

That looks like a "back up" roll in a plastic bag. Now that is prepared! :shock:
