Screwdriver, Allen wrenches, cleaning rod, shooting dairy, pen, extra batteries for red dots scopes, scoring overlays, scoring plugs, rule book, shooting glasses (indoor and outdoor), earmuffs (I use earplugs and earmuffs, called double plugging.), magazines,, one inch surgical tape, garbage bag (it rains outside and you place the bag over your box.), wooden or brass rod in case bullet takes a nap in your barrel. (Push the bullet out the way it came in.), spare parts, I take it back, you don’t need a gun box, you need a pick up truck to carry all this stuff around. Did I remember AMMO? GUN BOX A good designed box fits the equipment you carry. Keep the gun box clean, and always check the hardware on the box. Check the strap, hooks, handles, scope brackets. Always keep a plastic bag that will cover your box during a rain storm inside the shooting box.
NON-SHOOTING EQUIPMENT Clothing should be loose fitting and comfortable. You will need rain gear due to the weather that includes rubbers, the kind that go on your feet. No openings in the shirt for hot brass to enter, that really hurts.Shoes should be comfortable and should have flat soles. Never wear new shoes until they are broken in. Never wear sandals, fire ants love sandals. Bug juice-Suntan lotion-Earplugs- Scope, Tools to adjust sights and tighten scopes. Garbage bag to cover box in case of rain, cut out front and rear of bag so you can see through scope. The garbage bag can also make a poncho for you if necessary. Bring a towel for the first relay at Camp Perry. Walk to the benches and wipe the morning dew off, it’s a nice thing to wipe off the entire bench. Do both the 50-yd and 25 yd bench. The range officers let you. By the time you get to the 25-yard line it usually will be dry. Wear a cap to keep the sun, rain and shells off. Bring a metal screen to place between the shooter on the left and you as their fired cases may hit you. Check the rule book for the size diameter of the screen. There isn’t a rule about how big the screen is, only the size of the holes in it. If the screen is too big they may say something. Most screens are about 2 ft by 2.5 ft. Some people staple the screens to their gunbox. Others use a clamp. I use a spring loaded clamp. Also see Firearms
