Pistol FT - How do you carry gear?

[Bramezy]

Looking at trying my hand at some Pistol HFT this season and looking for ideas for hauling gear out to and along the course. Its a good 100yd walk thru the woods to get to the course and then the course itself.
What do folks use for this? Currently I have my pistol in a hard case which is not ideal due to weight and size to use to haul it around. I also need to carry my small buddy tank, and a few other small items. Was hoping for some sort of divider bag like I can lay the pistol in after I shoot. Bags are quite larger than the pistol. Mine is only 20" long.
Thanks

Backpack big enough for your gear. Have a padded pistol case inside the pack to slide your pistol into. Hand carry your stool and sticks.
Thx

Pistol FT ...
Soft case to keep pistol clean lane to lane & while setting it down at each lane.
Trigger stick & tri-stool just carried.

PFT is honestly very equipment light being much easier than the general rifle FT requirements for carried gear.

Hunter = Pistol, Sticks, Seat
Limited = Pistol, Bumm bag or Pad

Same problem with smaller pistols using totes made for rifles.
Tipton Compact Range Vise, collapses to shorter lengths, can carry full rifles and bipod:

At corners drilled some holes for 1/8" steel cable covered with shrink tubing, furrel stops on cable ends, open front yoke for cylinder, carbon fiber handles to reduce weight and because all the Kool Kids are doing it.

Lightweight and folds down.

I like this idea, as if I need more excuses and ideas to tinker with! Appreciate it, ill probably make this and a backpack lol.

Mine doubles as a stool (sitting or shooting), trophy case, pellet-tin carrier, and work of art.

How did you attach the carbon to cable or are they just free sliding?

Its a BRK Atomic. Love it. Best thing going though at current is the .177 BRK Pathfinder. When I've put the tune on it, it does 20 FP and 12 FP with just 2 clicks of the transfer port adjuster.

That concept is the best approach to a do-all Field Target pistol to quickly and easily 'switch' from AAFTA to Extreme Pistol Field Target with ONE gun. In fact with an accessory shoulder stock such a rig can also do (triple) duty in AAFTA WFTF rifle class.

Unfortunately the devil in the details lies in tuning the gun properly; no small chore. So for anyone not already knowing it, allow me to mention zx10wall can do it for you. Personal message him for details.

Center drilled delrin plugs, tightish holes friction against heat shrink wrap on cables. There is a bit of friction to relocate, but they stay put.

I carry my RAW TM1000 FT pistol in a soft case with my pellets, bumbag, and bipod. I don't need no stinkin cart. I can shoot an entire match with one fill, so no need for a bottle.

I know an old coot that still does that, even with his rifle FT rigs. But everybody knows that guy has a loose screw.

Correction- SEVERAL!

Not the hero that we need (or want), but the hero we got stuck with.

In support of the "hero" status you've foisted upon me, I also carry my rifle rig. No carts here.

Perhaps you should consider a different role-model to emulate than that RR nut-case.
