Gorilla Range Bag from S.O.Tech

Monday, May 6th, 2013

Gorilla Range Bag

New from S.O.Tech is the Gorilla Range Bag System. I got a sneak peek at this thing at SHOT Show and I really like it. For one thing, it’s a sling bag design making it easier to tote around. The GRB is a 3 part system which is comprised of a range bag, 2 pistol cases, and a cleaning case. Each item was designed from the ground up to function seamlessly with one another.

The main bag itself has pockets that are designed to carry:
-various sized paper targets
-staple gun
-elastic loops for markers
-ammo boxes
-2 pistol cases (included)
-cleaning case (included)
-extra big front pocket for extra pairs of hearing protection (friends or family range days)
-extra big front pocket for extra pairs of eye protection (friends or family range days)
-first aid kit

Additionally, there are pistol bags as well as a cleaning kit bag.
