Brightly-colored, thick plastic objects from Academy, such as the cubes and spheres approx. 6" wide.
Thick weedeater thread/cord connects them (they have one small hole drilled into the outer plastic) to a metal stake, which we stick into the berms.
These are usually my only rifle targets. Most of my rifle/handgun shooting is on the Action Pistol berms (25-30 yards max. distance allowed). *Not exaggerating one bit*. A single target survives hundreds of rounds of 7.62x39 jhp and .223.
Wash off the dirt or mud and spray orange for "recurrent visibility".
Of equal importance? Just put my first Tapco G2 trigger with a Tapco retainer plate (no more shepherd's 'hook') into my Maadi AK. Really simple. Very first time I've removed or added Any internal parts in a gun...…...any, of about twenty guns.
No more unpleasant trigger slap! My friend's Maadi has an even worse trigger slap. His ALG trigger group and Tapco retainer should arrive soon.

I think safety accessories are a given. Past that, I've come to love the gunsmith screwdriver set I bought. It's a cheap Winchester set, but I'll never go back to using my tapered screwdrivers from the garage. The fit from a hollow ground set is far superior, so no more marred screws from me!

Good hard-sided cases for my guns. No matter where I go to shoot my long guns are well protected and I can carry 5 handguns plus mags/speed loaders in the recesses I put into both of my large pelican-type handgun cases.
Stay safe!

Like the OP, age has made me appreciate mag loaders more than I ever did previously. In the last couple years there's also an RCBS Trim Pro power case trimmer and a Hornady power case prep tool for chamfering / deburring and primer pocket cleaning during reloading operations. Got some carpal tunnel issues in the hands & fingers and those power tools are a real life saver on those jobs that I used to do manually involving a lot of repetitive motion.

I won't go to the range without a steel take down cleaning rod, hoppes oil, and my leatherman wave. I ALWAYS end up fixing someone's ar or whatever other messed up gun that won't shoot. It is silly really, cause I rarely ever need anything for my guns, but I sure fix a lot of them for other people...
