Widder, SASS #59054 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I hate small font so I didn't read all your list. BUT, I always try to take an extra extractor and ejector for the Marlin. Enough ammo in case you have to take a reshoot pepto bismol and ammodium....just in case. Proper tools for working on your guns or atleast keeping your screws tight. Some sort of rain gear to cover your and/or your cart. thats just a few off the top of my head. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuteTheMall Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Spare shotgun pen & paper favorite screwdrivers, so you won't be tempted to use that multi-tool more water, cause 32 oz might not be enough. wal-mart stool if sitting on your cart gets old. some bungie cords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefro, SASS#69420 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I like to travel light. Extra guns, ammo, tools, H2O and Dawn, are all left in the truck. 100 rounds pistols per day 100 rifle 50 shotshells Small canvas bag or jug for brass Umbrella Small fabric cooler with drinks and snacks Hand towel Small canvas cleaning kit with Murphy's mix and Ballistol Bandaids Rain gear if needed Folding chair Screwdriver is on my gun belt I like to wait till I get home to clean guns, maybe even a few days later. I'll spray the barrels, cylinders, actions with Ballistol before I put them in the gun cases, makes them much easier to clean. If I'm at a two day match I do the same thing, but make sure to wipe down the cylinder face and rifle action. Using Big Lube bullets and 44/40 rifle daily cleaning is not needed at multi day matches. If I'm using the 38sp rifle I might pull a couple of wet patches then spray and wipe with Ballistol. Good Luck Jefro Relax-Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
