Chuck Norris doesn't need toilet paper. He scares the $hi+ right out of himself.

Because I have to be different.
In Pack:
Rifle including optic, SLING, and bipods (in scabbard when I am not carrying it, have it slung, or its not on the staging line)
Ammo (+10% of whatever the match director said to bring, in case I have a bad lot or something)
Snivel gear, including poncho
Extra socks and undershirt
550 cord, zip ties, duct tape (just because)
A good supply of water and at least 2 meals worth of snacks (most matches are in austere settings)
2 spare mags for pistol (in case I loose some)
10 rd AICS mag
Copenhagen
Toilet paper
Wrist GPS
Ear and eyepro
On my belt:
Databook (includes: slope indicator even though I have never needed it, calculator, like 16 pens because I loose them alot, constant sheet, range cards, reference cards sorted by 1000ft DA)
Rear Bag on snap
10rd mag in pouch
Rangefiner in pouch with 2 spare batteries and small screwdriver
Pistol and two mags (in holster/pouches)
In pickup:
Aid bag, toilet paper, water, two MREs, fire extinguisher (those are always in there anyway)
Things other people bring that I don't bother (I just borrow theirs):
Spotting scope and Tripod
Cleaning kit (Scrubbing your bore in a match is a good way to loose one or more points, I personally couldn't imagine why I would need one)
Torque wrench and bits
Weather meter
Things other people bring that I just don't:
Short tripod for LRF
Shooting mat
Shooting sticks
Crazy giant pack to use for support

So Wallace, how big a UHaul do you rent to carry everything?

My range bag immediate aid kit consists of a commercial tourniquet (SOFT-TW), an Olaes combination bandage, scissors, tape, gloves, a pocket mask and BandAids. Very recently I added Steri-Strips to my range kit.
While hunting last week my partner suffered a 1/2in laceration to his chin. As many of you know any lacs to the head or face bleed like crazy. A bandaid wasnt going to get the job done. Luckily he had steristrips in his kit and I was able to close it nicely and stop the bleeding. If he hadnt had them we likely would have had to make a trip to the ER. I couldnt convince him to let me throw a couple of stitches in it.
Surprising how many shooters dont have a small med kit while on the range. I have had to use my kit many times for small injuries, twice for critical ones. Those were on two separate occasions at two public civilian ranges. One due to a negligent discharge striking a bystander in the chest. Second time when a range worker slipped, falling on a piece of broken tile, severing the radial artery in his wrist (if he had been by himself, with his kit in his truck who knows how far away, he might have been in serious trouble. Keep your kit on you, or at least close by).

* Ball cap
* Depending on weather: extra clothes for warmth or less clothes for heat
* D-Lead hand cleaner
* Drinks appropriate for the temperature
* Snacks
* Chewing gum so I don't make the other shooters pass out later in the day
* A gun is always good to take to the range
Need:

It takes me a couple of days to pack.

Who manufactures your range box? I like the AR attach point.
