While I already have these things in my range bag, the shooting-focused multi tool was something I want aware of. Cool!
One thing I've added to my bag(s) is a Tile (one of those devices you attach to your keys) so I could find/track the bag from my phone if lost. Apple and Samsung have their own versions too.

It's a GOOD idea to have a segmented cleaning rod that will fit the bore of every gun you take to the range. I have a G.I. cleaning rod in my range bag...now. I DIDN'T the one time I NEEDED one (I had a bullet come unseated in my AR 308 and that would have ended my day at the range if someone else hadn't had one in their bag). I ordered TWO (2) as soon as I got home. You never know WHAT you might need at the range!!!

I usually carry the following in my range bag, small gun cleaning kit, patches, Lucas Oil Extreme Duty gun oil in the small bottle with the needle point applicator and a small firearm tool kit like the one pictured

Can't stress the medical supplies enough.
I placed a scope on my Marlin 1895, which I was using for an elk hunt that year (2014). Using my own handloads, I was at the range with some friends, when one of my buddies asked to shoot the 45-70 Gov't 300 grain Nosler Partitions I had loaded. I warned him about the scope, but he either didn't believe me or forgot. I had turned my head just for a second when BOOM! I turned back to see him yelling, cussing, and grabbing his forehead. By the time I could grab a handful of cleaning patches from my range bag, the blood was pouring off his chin. We applied direct pressure until we could locate a tube of gel superglue to seal that cut (he didn't have insurance, so superglue was as much as he could afford).
Great article.

Think that’s it, got mine from Ruger so it’s red with Ruger logo on it, think it’s called The Gun Tool
