Haka, if you got the treats, I got the dog to eat them.

Dave, must have a good size scooter, back in my day , I rode3 usually had some kind of crotch rocket that would not carry much more than me. but it was fast and quick.
Greener, can bet your butt on that backing up to the range, Never did it with the old Montero because of the swing out to the side door, bit this swing up door is greeeeeaaaaat. It even protects from a little bit of rain between the range roof and the car. Ammo, targets and most other stuff is left in the vehicle because of my storage shelf and all I have to carry out for a range trip os the guns. We get smarter as we get older, hopefully.

Wow, I actually think I got off pretty cheap with this range bag, and I still have a beverage holder!
One bad, it doesn't have wheels. Oh well, a man's got to know his limitations !

I was unaware that Hakaman was walking to the range.

Nice being able to back up to the firing line.

Dammit, I forgot to get the bike with reverse! And no cup holders!

Honda VTX1800S ... it is a monster of a bike, but the saddlebags will only hold 2 pistol cases each, and that's if I dump the stuff that's in there everyday.

I should try putting it up to the backstop one of these days, I could just park it at the outdoor table, too!

I made a terrible mistake today at the range. While shooting in the service rifle league,
I accidentally put some spent brass into the beverage holder.
Can you believe I would do such a thing ?

Probably need to replace the bag. You can't guarantee that the cupholder is serviceable. It may look that way, but you just can't be sure.

I guess it was one of those proverbial "brain farts".
Lucky for me, the bag is ok !

Glad to hear that, Bear and I are going to jump into our range bag shortly and drive it to the range fully loaded.

Yes, we did that the other day and we did it again today, sure is tough having to carry thing 6 to 8 feet to the shooting bench, got to do something about that for sure.

HAK said":"I accidentally put some spent brass into the beverage holder."

Thats OK unless you put the beverage in the hangy spent brass bag

That could be a little bit messy.

ok i grabbed my pistol bag cause i think it will be more impressive...

the bag in question.... (click for larger)

opened

emptied

like a russian nesting doll

and those pistol bags have a side pouch holding the mags. i also have a mini tool kit in the bags side pouch, some patches.

not bad for $15.

Hey Glockeyed,
those bags look very nice, convenient, and well made. Very innovative on your part.
Those pistol bags look like they do the job to keep your guns separated, sweet !
I know OM is going to chime in an tell us about the ultimate range bag on 4 wheels, you just wait.
Haka
ps...I didn't see a beverage holder on that bag?
