I have a Crane fishing bag from Aldi that was very cheap (<£10) and is excellent quality. Great for a day of centrefire or practical shotgun.

Also a bigger fishing bag from GoOutdoors that holds everything for BP sessions.

Until recently I used a fishing bag from Aldi, I think it was 4.99 or something like that, only thing was the main pocket was slightly too small for A4 targets.
Now I use a bag i got free for joining the US NRA... not as many dividers, but everything I need, including A4 targets, fits inside.

Another vote for the Aldi Crane bag. So good I bought two :good:
Used them for fishing for 10 years and now for the range and clay shoots.

I've been using one of those Crane bags for my clay pigeon bag for the past 6 years. I've ripped the lining a little bit on the underside of the lid but other than that its still going strong.

I use a 5.11 Rush 72 for everything else and its now so heavy when fully loaded I've had to resort to one of those granny shopping pull along shooting trolleys! (Eckla multi rolley) :oops: lol

The one i linked two has lasted 4 years albeit not everyday use . It regularly carries 250 12 bore plus chokes glasses tools etc .
The front pocket takes an a 4 size document wallet so works for license and paperwork .Zips all work straps good .
It would get a 10 from Len

How big are your pockets?

Really, it depends what I'm doing.

If I'm shooting TR, I need to carry, scope, jacket, ammo, cleaning supplies, ears, bulldog clips, shooting glasses, and a few other bits, I bought a massive (MASSIVE) like this one:

if I'm shooting with my scoped rifles, then I don't need much, I usually take my miltek 36L rucksack, so I can chuck it on my back. Usually theres only ears, ammo, drinks/snacks and plotting sheets in there. everything else I need fits in the Aim Dragbag.

I've used many different bags over the years and I'm currently using a 511 patrol bag. Best shooting bag so far and purfect for most tasks and disciplines.

Very strong and with pockets in the right places, also takes an a4 weather writer stood upright at the back of the main compartment (has a removable divider that I don't use).

We lug quite a bit of weight around in FTR ands it's pretty much the perfect range bag, strong, not too big, not too small and reasonably waterproof

I use a RUSH72 for PSG. Big enough to keep everything in and divided whilst being easy to carry over the harsh Rossendale landscape. :p

It's served me well in the past but had been sat in my loft collecting dust since a lifestyle change took place. Works better than my old DPM patrol pack too thanks to the full open design into the main compartment.
