"What do
you carry in your shooting bag, can you cover your needs if
something gets stuck or broken"?
We receive this question
over and over again from the new shooter to Ol' Abe, all trying
to lighten their load and still be able to care for their rifle.
Many will have different ideas, some are good while others
you'll find questionable, that's personal preference. Here's what
I carry for the rifle and for the shotgun, just the
basic things that work.
