3-Gun cart jogging stroller

[drmitchgibson]

Any suggestions on what brand to get? What you like/dislike about yours? Where to get the gun mounts? How do you organize your gear?

If you can find one, get a pet jogging stroller. The carrier is flat and parallel to the ground. Otherwise, I just saw one at a flea market, took off the canopy, and mounted ATV gun mounts from Walmart. All I need is a buoy buddy cup holder and I'll be golden!

There are a ton of jogging strollers on Craigslist. But you still have to modify them. I found and got this for USPSA matches. I'll take the gun racks off since I have yet to shoot a 3gun match. Seating area has already been modified to hold more gear. With cost of stroller and mods, I thought this was a decent trade-off for $130.00.

That's a nice looking cart.

I've seen a few at garage sales for under $20. They're around, just keep an eye out.

Go with wat CBR posted. No muss no fuss and you're set. $130 seems really reasonable to me.

Big wagon is best IMHO.

Big wagon is best IMHO.

Its a range thing. At OKCGC most use the gun carts.
At USSA, most use the wagons with patio umbrella's on them.

I have a big wagon, wonderful for 3-Gun, and it's listed in the classisfieds. SPF, actually. Too big for my car, and I'm not at the point where I buy a new car to fit my 3-Gun needs. Surely that's coming in the next couple years.

Thanks for the link Cary. Free shipping, too! I was perusing Craigslist, and there are some great deals, but $130 delivered and already set up for shooting is awesome.

I bought an InStep stroller. Ripped off the front brake and canopy. Added 2 sets of racks so I can transport up to 4 long guns. I have more in the Kolpin mounts than I do in the stroller. I need to figure out a pouch or organizer for the baby seat area. When I have the racks loaded, my range bag does not fit in the seat area. The under seat storage fits a 50 cal ammo can with space to spare.

I am starting to look at the bike trailer/ jogging stroller dual purpose buggy. It can hold like 100 pounds and you can mount the upright rack like the $400 jobbers. Should be enough room for a cooler.



Just chuck out the baby and replace the dirty diaper machine with some cold black steel.

Was also thinking about a twin jogging stroller. It can carry more gear and a cooler for snackies and capri suns.

I snagged a high end f/r twins baby stroller from a thrift store. The smaller wheels occasionally are a challenge but it holds a cooler, range bag 2 long guns (rubber tool clamps) pointed at the ground - dual wheels in the front - umbrella, rain gear, etc. Oh, yeah - cup holder and 'glove' compartment up top.

$12 with time and another $15 in clamps and velcro.

Pics next time out. You'll know me if you see me!

my wife saw a baby jogger in the entry to a restaurant and said "I can't believe someone left their 3gun cart here"...

she's a good one.

 

[drmitchgibson]

There was a double unit on Craigslist but I got no reply. Might have to settle for the single-seater. Ordered some Kolpin mounts from Amazon w/ free shipping. **** was awesome.

I just picked up a $12 craftsman tool bag for the seat. It has an open top with elastic loops around the inside. The loops will hold mags perfectly. Now, I can leave the range bag in the truck and organize the cart better.

Still thinking about finding the trailer/jogger. I could hook it up behind my harley and ride to matches.

Mine is from gander mtn. I think it is do-it-all brand. $200 out the door and I didn't have to steal my wife's jogging stroller.

My 3 gun cart. May sell it to get a bigger one to hold lawn chair and umbrella.

I took a lot from this YouTube video that helped me with my organization. It gave me a starting point, made some modifications from there.
