2 items I lacked at the last couple of matches and good ones to bring. That and simple band aids.
OnTheFly:
I don't do any 3-gun as of right now, so for pistol...
* My mobile gun cleaning/maintenance/spare parts tactical range box. "Tactical" because I am just THAT much of an operator.
* Electronic hearing protection
* Extra ear plugs
* Extra batteries for whatever battery powered device I have (mostly ear muffs)
* Uplula
* Spare mags
* Spent case bag
* Naproxin Sodium
* Chap stick (but that's usually in my pocket)
* Smart phone for family contact, 911, and taking photos/video
* Staple gun + staples
* Bug spray (summer)
* Sun screen (summer)
* 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:
* First aid kit.
It takes me a couple of days to pack.

I always forget at least one thing every time I go to the range. And yes, at least once or twice it has been either the gun or the ammo.
Sunblock and water/gatorade is a good idea. I bring those in hot weather. My vision goes all to hell when I get dehydrated.
I take the Naproxin Sodium before I leave in the morning. ;D

Before the match, after the match, AND definitely the morning after the match.

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)

Snivel gear, including poncho
Extra socks and undershirt
550 cord, zip ties, duct tape (just because)
