Items carried to matches

[jjp]

I'm getting all my stuff together to carry with me to matches. What do you carry with you? I'm sure some are minimalist and some carry enough for any situation.
So what do I need to make sure I take? Extra rifle?

Rifle
Ammo (How Much)
Shooting Vest (If I had one)
Cleaning rod
Bore Guide
Patchworm
Sand bags (rest)
Allen wrenches
pliers
Screw drivers

Cooler
snacks
chair

Rifle
Ammo- usually a box for warming up and two more for the match but I like to have at least 4 boxes incase I get a itchy trigger finger.
Shooting Vest
Rifle Caddie Box
Shooting bag with ammo, tools, hearing protection and cleaning accessories.
Chair if I remember one! Reminds me I need to run by Academy at lunch and find a new one for tomorrow!
Magic Bananas and water.

I think that about covers it.

Bob259, Don't I wish that's all you would carry to the matches. It would leave the rest of us with at least a little room for our stuff.

Bob259, that's a great list. I forgot about my spotting scope.

I've got to order a vest. Which Hard scrabble mountain vest would yall recommend? I'm leaning toward the suede leather or the mesh/leather combination.

Thanks for the list of items.

[Chattcatdaddy]

Rifles x2 (one for each class)
Ammo (CCI SV 100rd box x2)
Spotting scope (very important! I`m using aperture sights)
Bench rest
Lunch (we have a little break between matches for grub)
Ear/eye protection
Tools (just in case)
Clip board
Pens
Note book
NRA card
Classification Book (new one for 2010)

Yup, all that and some of the other stuff mentioned: OCI, small clipboard, eye/ear protection.
No need to bring a "back up" rifle, (unless you want to, of course). I'm sure someone will allow you the loan of one to finish a match (or maybe even shoot the whole thing, or at least I will )
Oh...one more thing. I sometimes carry a "cute" (according to Ed) tote to carry my stuff in from animal to animal.
Hope to see you tomorrow.

Rifle - either 1 or 2 depending if I am on an airplane

Ammo - Twice what will be fired at the match

Vest and ear plugs

If I forget anything else, I can buy it when I get there.

Looking forward to meeting some of you in Chattanooga. Can't wait to learn and watch some other shooters. See yall in the morning.

And always drop a few loose rounds in a vest pocket, just in case. In the middle of a real good run on pigs or chickens (I've tried to forget this episode) at Winnsboro, and discovered I had short loaded the magazine by two rounds. Too make matters worse, I had just removed the loose rounds from my vest that morning because dirt was sticking to the lube.

[jneihouse]

One positive thing came of that episode Bob...you learned what the little hole in the clips are for

Forgot to mention to double check and make sure you got the magazines (correct ones) for the rifle unless yours is a single shot

[malinois]

Lol...I'm lucky if I show up with the correct rifle and ammo....
