All the crap you need to go shooting, targets, ammo, firearms, cleaning supplies, First aid kit, water to drink, lots of food. and a couple of beers after shooting is over. And most important, the wife to clean up the trash and pick up the brass, takes her about two beers.

I guess I take the kitchen sink cause you guys done covered everything else 
James I aint so sure I'da told that one..lol. I will say it generally takes me at least 3 trips to get everything from the truck to the bench. I usually make a day of it..or at least several hours when I get the chance.

Definatly bring some snacks: power bars, grahm crackers that sort of thing. Nothing worse-well almost nothing worse-than shooting on an empty stomach. Especially when you are supposed to be having fun.

i open the back barn door.. slide the saw horses over, toss a piece of counter top up there and grab my chair... get the chrono situated... walk out and hang a target at the backstop... drink my coffee and admire the day... and get to shooting... all of the "necessities" are already there, ammo, guns, hearing and eye protection, bags, load books, targets, markers, etc... and if i need to tweak i walk across the shop, sit down and load up a few more.
i think most have covered everything you need for a day at the range... i generally don't have quite as much... and i only use the chrono if it is load development time...
guess i am lucky to have the setup that i do with the capability to put em out to about 1/2 a mile if i so choose...i find ranges to be a hassle more than anything anymore... way too many folk around trying to figure out what the heck they are doing and way too many are dangerous...
