Don’t Forget These 5 Essentials When Going to the Range

By
When it is time to head out to the range, especially one on open Bureau of Land Management land, there are some important items you want to carry. Many of these hold true for going to an indoor range or a range with a clubhouse or officer, but if it is an unattended range or open land, there are a few additional essentials you will need. Grab your FNX 45 and get ready for a fun day of shooting.

Ammo for All of Your Firearms

First, other than bringing your guns, you need ammo for all of your guns. Whether you bring boxes that you just bought or have ammo cans full of ammo, be sure you have something to shoot. If you are bringing a Glock 21 Gen 4, be sure you bring 45 ACP. Bringing an ammo can of 9mm will not matter if you do not have a gun in that caliber. Bring more ammo than you intend on shooting, just in case you decide to shoot more. Doing target drills can eat up a lot of ammo, after all.

Loaded Magazines

Once you have all of your ammo ready, it is a good idea to load all of your magazines. It can take a while to load all of the magazines, but doing it ahead of time in your home is far more comfortable than doing it at the range. It may be inevitable that you will have to reload magazines at the range, but load what you can ahead of time and come prepared.

Takedown Tools for Maintenance

Bring any takedown tools for your firearms so that you can do any emergency maintenance you might need. If you have a malfunction or a stuck round, it is better to have the proper tools to fix the problem.

Targets for Shooting Practice

Next, you need something to shoot at. Whether it is paper targets or metal targets, you need something to practice drawing your concealed Glock 27 Gen 4 and firing. Whatever you pack out, remember to pack back in. If you go to an indoor range, targets may be provided or available for sale, though you might be able to bring your own targets.

Medical Supplies for Any Injuries

The chances of an injury to yourself or others at a range are typically low as long as you follow the basic safety rules for shooting. That does not mean ricochets can not happen, or you might catch yourself with a staple gun as you set up paper targets. While the latter likely just requires some antibacterial cream and a bandage, it can help to also carry medical supplies and be prepared for any scenario, especially if it is an outdoor range.

It’s the rare fan of firearms who doesn’t appreciate having at least one conversation piece in their collection. That can be a family heirloom, a homemade build, or a favorite shooter. However, a home-run option for a gun people will talk about is gifting your favorite gun enthusiast a high-quality but distinctive firearm. That could be an antique or vintage model, like a Dreyse M1907, or something new and unique, like the Kel Tec KSG . Give them something to talk about with one of the following distinctive gun gifts. 50 Beowulf Dreyse M1907 The Dreyse is a unique and certainly distinctive looking early automatic. Superficially, it looks quite a bit like the first ever mass-produced automatic, the FN 1900, and shares its chambering—32 ACP. However, the Dreyse features several distinct internal differences. Because this antique firearm tends to be overshadowed by the famous FN 1900, you can often find them relatively inexpensively. Despite their usually modest price, they have a reput

When you are headed to the range, there are some pieces of tactical gear you will want to bring with you. They will all help with convenience, allowing you to carry more or keep your firearms close at hand. When you are doing quick transition drills at the range, you will not want to have to toss your DPMS AR 15 in the dirt so that you can draw your Glock from the table. Here is everything you should bring to your next range outing.  A Holster for Your Handgun If you are still keeping all of your guns on a table at the range, you are losing time.

The most common are belt holsters, whether inside the waistband or outside. Depending on the type of holster, you might need to get one specifically meant for your gun.

How to Fly with Your Firearms

Whether you are going hunting with your Beretta A300 Outlander or taking a highly specialized AR 15 to an out-of-state competition, flying with a firearm might seem complex if you have never done it before. However, there are ways you can streamline the process to make it as simple as possible. This means you will not have to arrive at the airport too much earlier than you would for a typical flight. Here are five tips you should know about packing and declaring your firearm for your next flight. Use the Right Kind of Lock First, you will need the right kind of lock. Do not use any standard, TSA-approved lock to keep your firearms safe. Instead, use a heavy-duty lock on your case. Always keep a key on your person, but do not bring extra copies in your checked luggage. Otherwise, if you use a TSA-approved lock or have copies of the key, it is entirely possible that your gun case could be empty when you grab it off the carousel at your destination. What to Do with Ammo Most often, a
