DeaconKC Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Mine is a "prototype" or "work in progress" started out as a jogging stroller, uses gun magnets to keep the long guns from bouncing around, bottom holds extra ammo and a cooler. Leather bag holds first aid kit and tools and I use an extra gunbelt for holsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 A couple of things I learned from others as this has progressed. Keep the weight as low as possible and use as large tires as you can. If you have a good young back, heavier is not a problem, but if you have a bad back, loading big carts can be a problem. And several folks advised to expect to redo the cart several times until you get it how you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Mine is half and half - I bought the welding cart (Harbor Freight, I believe) and then added the necessary furniture made from shop scraps and pieces. I strongly second what has already been said about keeping the weight low and using large wheels. The secret to mine is that it rocks back on to the wheels; you can spin 360 degrees in place, making it easy to maneuver on a crowded range; if you get the balance right, it will roll with just fingertips on the handle.

Chancy Shot, SASS #67163 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I have made several carts. It is fun to build them as well as use them. This is my favorite. Unfortunately, it was made with cheap plywood and failed after several years of use. I might rebuild it again. Winter is coming. Big compartment at the top of the column for ammo . Drawers for stuff. Big compartment at the bottom for more stuff. Chancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Cowtown Scout appreciate it and I know I'm asking a lot of questions and really appreciate the feedback and advice from folks Our range is coming up to 40 years since we first got the land (Forestry) there's so many members (many now past on) $ and blood, sweat and tears have gone into it. In the Christmas Fires of 2019 when the East Coast of Oz was ablaze, we are in the middle of a massive area of bush (hundreds of thousands of acres of virgin bush) and we lost the lost in about 90 minutes. Luckily we had insurance, but with Covid lockdowns and trying to get builders and trades people when hundreds upon hundreds of homes were lost and there is so much work available has been very trying to say the least. We are 80% - 90% back up and running and it was the perfect chance to convert a range to dual IPSC and CAS. People being so kind to post photos of steel targets and holders, their rigs and now their range carts ....wow...its been incredibly helpful. That old saying a picture tells a 1000 words is so true. Thanks one and all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey Flats Jack Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 My first attempt at a guncart. It's really awkward to load into the car. My second attempt. It's bigger than I need now since my spouse never followed through with joining me. VID_20200822_115216729.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 There have been picture threads before, but the search function above isn't worth much. However, if you do a google image siearch on Sassnet Guncarts you will see lots more pics. I didn't see mine there, though . So, vintage bagboy cart ($8), vintage Oshkosh train case (free, talked mom out of one of her collection.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozark Huckleberry Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 The pegs that are low on the sides of the box can be pushed in and locked so the sides are flush. The tray on the back is the right size for a soft-side cooler and a couple boxes of shotgun shells. The revolver brackets are removable, if I need to expand to carry four long guns.

Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Made in 2019 by my brother in Christ, Bob Bruins. He's an accomplished woodworker and saw that I was in cowboy action shooting. When talking to him about the sport he said, "hey, would you mind if I made you a cart". He wanted a challenge and I said "sure", so I showed him some ideas with the used carts I had purchased in the past. Told him he could come up with whatever idea he wanted as "artistic license" if you will. He is what he came up with and I have been blessed to enjoy it since then. It's made of hickory.

Dusty Devil Dale Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 By "range cart" are you referring to gun carts, or to carts used by range helpers for transporting targets, stands and other props around a range for match set up? For the latter, our club uses a dedicated target/utility trailer with specialized racks, and wheelbarrows or hand trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Sam, SASS #34718L Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Here's mine. It was my 3rd attempt at building one from scratch..... and I think I finally got it right. It holds everything I'm likely to need, rolls easy & folds up easy and fits into the back of my Outback....... It even provides a place to sit down in the shade when I open my umbrella.
