gun cart question?

James Peel · Jun 5, 2013

I need to make a cart quick for a match coming up Saturday. I tried to find a decent and cheap used baby jogger that would fold at least partially but am coming up empty so far. I have a garden cart that would work great but the easiest way to mount the gun racks is on the sides, thus carrying the guns with muzzles parallel to the ground. I'd prefer to have them either muzzle up or down but don't have the time to arrange that before Saturday.

So...Is it ok to tranport guns on a cart with muzzles flat?

I have one you're welcome to use, if you want to pick it up.

Thanks for the offer Jeremy - getting up your direction this week would be as big a challenge.

Just hold your ETTS match on Sunday and I won't need a cart

JPEEL are you shooting TDSA? Are you on NTXLF Facebook page?

Have you found gun mounts for it yet? I picked up some Kolpin ATV gun mounts at Bass Pro for mine. Some Walmart stores also carry similar mounts.

Here ya go! Poor quality pics but you get the idea. I was surprised that with even my heavy ass rifle on the outer carrier and nothing else in the cart nor the shotty on the other side, the cart didn't have any tendency to get tippy.

Sweet! Looking for one too.

Can anyone point to an inexpensive source for the gun mounts? The one's I've seen in stores are a little pricey for a do-it-yourself gun cart. Thx.

The double mounts I used were $40 each at Bass Pro. SIngles were around $30. I'm sure something less costly could be had or made, but I didn't want to skimp on the part that secures $4k worth of guns.

I've been working on my new cart too. Is this overkill for the 3gun Match at USSA this next weekend?

James Peel · Jun 8, 2013

I like it Doc, but I'd have a hard time fitting that in the back of my truck

DoctorJJ · Jun 8, 2013

Ok, so I got a buddy who is coming with me and is going to shoot this match too. I'm going to be letting him use some of my extra stuff. Will USSA let me take this golf cart? I seriously need it for 2 people's worth of stuff.

Just finished mine. Ain't purdy, but I think it will do. View attachment 4944

Purdy don't equal functional.
Looks like a solid rig Bob, looks real close to mine.

DoctorJJ · Jun 15, 2013

Here was mine in action today.

This thing is a great multi-purpose rig. Great for hunting and down not the farm. Obviously a little ridiculous if it was a dedicated competition shooting cart.
