Hoping this is the right section of the forum...
Anyways im having a bit of a dilema on how to setup my range rig, figured folks with more experience could chime in.
First off I never shoot at a range, the spots I go are pretty far out, which leads me to the first requirement of my setup, an IFAK. Currently I have one on my backpack, but usually that stays in the car when I shoot, im leaning towards grabbing an HSGI blowout IFAK pouch which is pretty compact, and running that on my shooting rig. Question A. is that worth the hassle...am I smart in thinking it will be better suited to keep my medical equipment on my body rather than in a pack potentially in a locked car?
I picked up 3 HSGI taco pouches since I wanted the versatility of using any mag with my setup, although im leaning towards keeping those on a thigh rig for quick acsess, and then maybe a chest rig with the IFAK and more mag pouches to swap emptys into and then keep the tacos stocked up.
I feel like I am overthinking this for just a range rig, but my idea is that everything I take shooting goes into my pack or rifle bag....When I get out to the woods I can throw a chest rig or whatever on, keep the pack in the car, and pretty much have all my ammo and whatnot on me, and just have snacks, water, ect in the car for breaks.
Ideally id have everything on the chest rig and not use the thigh rig, but I really like the taco pouches and dont want to bulk it up too much.
I love the idea of something like the TT mini mav but the ends with only 2 rows of webbing screw up the ability for me to run an IFAK and al three of my tacos.
Something else to consider is im a pretty small guy, so most chest rigs are huge on me, so really only looking into fairly compact setups.
Without worrying about the IFAK id just run everything on a costa leg panel or something, but the idea of everything on a chest rig is appealing...thoughts?
