Grizzly Dave Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Time to clean out my shooting box, it's gotten kind of out of control. Wondering what you all take to matches, either to have in your cart, or in the car, that has proven to be helpful over the years. Grizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 First aid kit. Small stuff like bandaids, super glue (closes cuts on finger tips much better than putting a bandaid on that then gets stuck in a gun mechanism or just falls off), sun screen, ibuprofen, aspirin. Every other match someone needs something. And always the cell phone to make an emergency call for ambulance or life guard helo. And always a small trauma kit for gunshot and CPR treatment. Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Chicago screws. A couple of cleaning patches. I have a little housewife that has some thread, needle, and a couple buttons on it. Popped a button or two and had to make an emergency repair. Your first aid kit might need little packets of sunscreen and burn cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Brules Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 There's a lot of stuff you could take and everyone does. As far as tools go, I take a kit I made up, but especially ---- Brownells driver set ---- Gunsmith's soft hammer (3/4" Brownells combo nylon/brass) ---- A nine-inch long, .38 caliber (I think it's 11/32") solid brass rod with rounded ends. I use it as a range rod to clear barrel obstructions (i.e. squibs, stuck cases, etc. It will also do for larger calibers. It's heavy enough to do the job and short enough to store easily.

Sparky Nelson Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Baby wipes +1. I was the hero of a shootin' get-together when it came lunchtime and there was no place to wash up, because I had a jar of baby wipes in my bag. Other items I always have with me when I'm outdoors: sunscreen safety pins bug repellent spray during warm weather (I don't care what the enviros say, this kid takes a spray can because I can't reach the middle of my back with the lotion.) water toilet paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
