Whats in your range bag

I keep a bag in my car at all times with the following in it: sighting scope, rest bags, MUT multi tool, hearing pro, targets, gloves, staple gun, staples screws and sometimes a screw gun. everything else that I bring is gun specific each time I go.
 
Electronic ear muffs, push in ear plugs for guests, multi tool, small cleaning kit for multiple calibres, medkit, targets of different sizes including paper plates. Spare batteries, screwdriver, range membership card, keys to different ranges and doors/gates. Dump pouch, pouch for picking up spent brass, water bottle, staple gun.

Depending on what I'm shooting that day, it will change a little with ammo, specialty tools for making adjustments, spotting scope. All that fits into my 5.11 range bag which is about 24" long, 10" high and 18" wide.

Arrow T50X that DOESN'T FARKING WORK!
How hard is it to design a stapler that actually retracts the anvil far enough to pick up a staple and drive it?
A little bonus tolerance? Apparently not.
 
Among all of the other random useful and semi-useful stuff, I can usually find at least a round or two in calibers I don't own. Never quite sure where it comes from. Found a spare key to a truck I haven't owned in 5 years last time I cleaned it out.

I thought I was the only one! I brought a 25acp round to a NES meetup for the express purpose of giving it away. It showed up in my bag one day, I assume that a member at my club thought it was mine and tossed it into the bag.
 
Ammo, spare mags, ears X2, ear plugs, extra eyes, targets, stapler, staples, zip locks, first aid kit, tourniquet, screwdriver, leatherman, baby wipes, cleaning supplies.
 
I used to keep alot of stuff in my range box (Fat 50 Ammo Can,) but I've trimmed it down to whatever guns and ammo I am using, a pocket knife, small flashlight, first aid kit, ears and eyes. I found myself not needing all the other stuff.
 
magazines
stapler/staples
gloves
headphones
backup ear plugs
safety glasses for the rare time I use them (I wear sunglasses 90% of the time safety nazis)
range membership card/ gate card
batteries for my aimpoint and headphones
binoculars
