A range bag isn’t exactly the coolest category of shooting-related equipment. For most shooters, a “range bag” is a backpack that is useful and can hold as much weight as they can fit into it, especially when they are first starting out. But at some point in life, every shooter comes to the point where they realize the value of a good range bag.

You’ll begin to marvel at a purpose-built pack with strong stitching, straps, handles and reinforcements in all the right places to handle a constant barrage of heavy ammo boxes, tools, staple guns, magazines and parts.

An organization with the right number of pockets for what you need in a bag that fits everything and prevents it from getting dirty during transport brings a kind of peace to the soul. And of course, as you get into more shooting types, you’ll need more range bags.
