I've decided there's no "one" right range bag for me and am now going to try ... three.
What I'm now trying out is below.
From bottom working upward:
(1) Red bag is a Husky 14" rolling tool bag I picked up at the Home Depot. Holds all the stuff my larger shoulder bag used to, but now with more room for handguns & ammo. It will be the bag for longer pistol & rifle trips to the outdoor ranges I belong to. It's new as of today, so hasn't been out yet.
(2) On top of that is a smaller Glock promo bag I picked up for $25 bucks on sale at a LGS. It's got room for gear (few tools, eyes & ears, targets, FAKs, etc), 250 rounds and couple pistols or wheelguns. It's for the quick trips to the indoor range down the street from my house. Have tested it out; it's doing fine. Much more compact and easy to carry than my old big range bag. Toting the big shoulder bag seemed a bit nuts to me.Heck, you only get the lane for an hour if they're busy. Don't how long this particular bag will hold up, but can find a tougher one of about the same size later on if need be.
(3) On the table is my skeet/trap/clays bag. It's a Beretta tourney bag I've had forever and does the job dandy.
I think this may be workable. ...And, yes, I do know I'm really just messing around with different way of organizing the gear. But, WTH, it amuses me, and I do like to be organized and maximize my time (and fun) at the range or club.
