Range Bags

Wild Bill1 · Aug 2, 2017

I have outgrown the bag I typically use for USPSA. Who's using what and what does everyone recommend?

CED XL Professional. Good size with non-black interior because I am getting old and I can never find my flashlight in my range bag, so I can search my range bag with a flashlight.

Dan, I won't argue with either assessment. You are getting old and that is a nice range bag. LOL

That being said, Bill, go to Academy and look at their large range bag. It is pretty close in quality to the really nice shooting bags that you can get online but it is only $50. They have 2 sizes. Give them a look

Those Academy bags are made well. I used one for about 3 years and then gave it to the son of a friend of mine. When I needed a larger one. He has been using it for about 2 years now. Last time I saw it, it still looked good and was in good shape.

The DAA Medium backpack is amazing. For my uses (USPSA), it is the perfect bag.

I wouldn't use anything else.

I have five of the original shooters connection tournament series bags. Excellent quality and a spot for everything you need.

They change in price a lot. I think I paid $130 for mine.

I feel like i probably need to spend the money on this!

Tournament Series Ultra FTW. I picked up one of these 3 years ago. Good size with plenty of pouches but not too bulky. I've used it almost every weekend and it has held up remarkably well. Highly recommend.

I have one of the larger bags from Midway. It has held up well so far.

I have the Double Alpha Medium Backpack. The backpack straps are nice, but I don't like the overall design of the bag at all. It tips over a lot. I had the CED Pro Range Bag for about 6 years prior to that, and it held everything I needed for pistol matches without any trouble. It's a great bang for the buck.

Also, you can't wear the backpack style bags around the range if you're shooting production or single stack because the bag hits the back two magazines. I end up lugging it around matches with one hand. At least with a regular range bag you can use the shoulder strap. Backpack straps are probably great if you only have mags on the front of your belt.

So in other words. Not for real men.

No worries Burk. Some Bedazzlers, with some Hello Kitty stickers and you will be good to go.

The MidwayUSA competition range bag gets my nod. I have had mine going on I think 8 years and its great. It does look similar to the CED XL above but cheaper. I have one in OD but they come in other non-black colors too.
