This is why one range bag wouldn't work for me.
Now I have to fill in my log books of how things went.

Cool setup, biglever.
The pic I really liked was your interesting perspective shot of the ammo.

I enjoyed seeing your gear and reading your range report, too. Thanks.

The only "extras" in my range bag are some spare earplugs, a spare pair of safety glasses, and a set of screwdrivers, which I really needed once but didn't have at the time. I haven't needed them at the range since, but I still take them along every time, anyway.

I'm more like RanchRoper. I take the guns out of their cases, set up the targets, load, and shoot.

I wasn't kidding about a secretary. At our club
You get 1 hr to shoot. If someone else shows up, then you pickup. And give the range to them.
So I might be just starting to shoot a second or third rifle. And have to quick Wright down. What
I had and what load or ammo. I was testing. So next time I take that rifle out I can pickup were I left off.
I picked up these little index card binders. Added the page markers. To. Find the diff guns. I even put my shotguns in here , doing Turkey patterns. With diff.chokes. and. shot. Size.
But Iam open to all idea"s. Most Of the time I put info on the target then transfer the info when I get home.

The thing with the old military rifles I try to shoot them with the original iron sights. And then you need to know what site setting you were on for what range, and bullet weight etc.
One guy told me he puts notes on the target s
Takes a pic. Of the target , then trows the target away. Keeps the pic. On his computer.
I like Haveing. The info with me. , so you can go back to other settings or info.
