Not sure if this is the right place for this...sorry if it isnt....with that said, where could I buy a cheap range bag that could hold paper targets,2 pistols, eye and ear protection and some ammo?
i use an old laptop bag, works nicely for 2, sometimes 3 guns depending on case size, few hundred rounds of ammo and all the accessories. you could probably ebay something like that for a few bucks.
A heavy duty plastic tool box works great expecially if you plan on shooting multiple calibers. It's a little big and bulky but it's kind of cool having everything "all laid out".
A large lunch bag, the soft type with a hard removeable liner/box. I have one I use sometimes, 2 revolvers, 200 to 300 rounds of ammo, tools, hearing protection, etc.
I just use an old soft lunchbox. Works fine for me. Can hold 2 pistols, a few boxes of ammo, some basic tools, targets, and usually I stick some cleaning supplies in there as well.
I picked up a Rubbermaid tool bag at Wal-Mart a couple of years ago. It holds two pistols, a couple hundred rounds of ammo, my targets, stapler, some balloons, a deck of cards, a small first aid kit, bug spray, hearing protection, spare foam plugs and my range badge. I think it cost me something silly like $9. So far is has proven rugged and handy.
I use one of my wife's old travel bags that she used to use as a "carry on" bag when she flew out of town in the past. It holds enough supplies for 3 shooters since I usually go with freinds to the range. I keep my paper targets in a couple of 12 x 7 envelopes. I print the targets of the net from various sites. What I like is that the bag was already "broken in" so it doesn't bother me to lay it on the floor. And on the floorboard of my truck, it looks just like any other old bag. It doesn't bring attention to the contents inside. I use a separate old Plano Tackle box to keep my cleaning and gunsmithing supplies in.
In the past, I've used an old photography bag. The nice thing is that usually they are padded with several compartments just like a real range bag. Also they are made to hold up under the same kind of use. If there is a good photo shop that has used bags, you probably can get a good one for under $20.
