That's easy... So simple its scary.
I do have friends that fit the other descriptions though. The worst is clean all your guns before you shoot any of them

For me it’s never enough ammo. I go there with a ton of ammo and expect to shoot a ton of ammo

I stand accused of being 6 of those at some point or another, but never clean all to shoot any. Perhaps when I had 3 or 4, but I can't remember that far back.

I would say it took me awhile and after working through those six over the years, I've become the "So Simple It's Scary" guy at this point too.
I really laughed at the Extraneous Equipment guy. Definitely have been him.

Yep I've got a friend that is Extraneous Equipment Guy. One day we were going to shoot at a range near his house. His house is an hour from mine. Get off the phone with him jump in the shower, grab my gear head out. Get to his house & he's still playing in his gun safe...lol

That’s some funny stuff. Don’t know that I’m any of the 7 and fortunately the only range I’ve been to so far isn’t that busy when I go. I plan it like that when I can.

I just decide which pistols I want to shoot, then pack 300rds each.
What is so difficult?

300rds is a lot of money for anything other than 22LR.

For my other guns, not more than 100rds. Until I suddenly become rich.

I might not shoot more than 200, but the option is there.

I'm scary simple until I'm extraneous equipment guy. I try to keep range trips focussed on specific objectives and when I succeed: it's scary simple. But when I travel more than an hour or plan to spend more than an hour, packing strategy is the key to getting more junk than I can possibly need packed into the truck. I'm still pulling stuff from a range kit I packed almost a year ago for a weekend long shoot 3 hours from home.

How much I bring is in direct correlation to how far I'm traveling. Inverse correlation, that is. More miles = more guns, more ammo, etc. "just in case someone might want to shoot it." Local range? maybe 2 or 3 guns tops and a box or two of ammo per.

When ive been to the Get Together @ Texas Star I always bring more than i plan on shooting. I guess when your 3 + hours from the house you want to make sure you got all you could need. Last time i was thinking it would be easier to get a dolly & load up a Security Cabinet in the back of the truck & head up there.

We should carpool to the next one, BTW.

We can do that fo sho!
I got plenty of room in the truck

 

[TxStetson]

Easyrider and I carpooled to the Spring 2018 meet. We had 26 guns in the vehicle. Luckily we didn’t get arrested for gun running.

When I get home from the range, I immediately load my range bag for the next time. Just grab it and go.

But, how do you know what mood you'll be in next time?

Or do you just take them all?

For me, local range trips are most often for meditation. That'll be one pistol (lately, it's consistently been my M18 S&W revolver) and one box of ammo in one small bag with my ears hanging on the side. 50 rounds, slow fire, concentrating, will clear the mind of all the noise that builds up in there. It's amazing how much more refreshed I feel leaving the range than when I arrived.
