Shooting cart ideas besides a jogger?

[Solo1]

As my shoulders are complaining alot more carrying things I’ve decided to make myself a wagon for my gun and bucket. I’ve decided not to do a jogging cart cause of its instability and lack of weather protection and am buying a little wagon with car like steering and foam filled tires! (No flats) the wagon is about the same size as my guncase so i figure it wont be much different in the room it takes up at a match than my bucket and case. I plan to use some al angle to mount a rack for my becket from the back and leave the rest of the stake sides off to save weight. Will post up more when finished.

Does anyone else have a good idea for something besides a jog cart?

Hey this is a great post! I don't have anything but i'm looking forward to some good ideas. I tried to build a moving truck into a gun cart, it worked OK but not what I want. The baby buggy or golf cart is close as well but exposed guns out on a field target course is less then ideal. It would be great if the cart the guns and supplies are on would side into the car without having to unload the cart to get everything in the car to go home.

Ok so i got my wagon. First thoughts are i a little disappointed with the tires their plastic not foam filled rubber like I thought they would be but other wise its nice, the steering is great cause it doesn’t want to tip! I had to do some reinforcement on the rear cause my bucket rack landed on the stake pockets so I couldn’t use the rear stake side. The rear rack is made from 1-1/2” x3/16” al angle with 3/4” x 3/16 “ braces. All bolted together with 1/4”x3/4” bolts and fender washers. I think it came out well so far as it rolls and follows easily ( wheels have brgs) and keep’s everything dry and out of the sun. Might put a couple stakes to keep it from sliding when i open the case not sure yet.

Not American made, but there are bigger carts available that would allow you to have the sideboards up.

Ive since put 2 stakes on both sides of the wagon that allows the handle to hold the lid open while you get your gun out and back. My goal was to keep things as small and light as possible. This wagon fits in my car and only weighs about 30 lbs

We have been using golf carts for a long time. It started when my dads knees went. Bought my first one in '98 and still have it. I have added to the stable, but i never leave home without my cart. No gas carts, i have an electric. No carts allowed, i don't go...
My dad is gone, but i have his bad knees. And hips. And, and,.....

I'll keep this in mind for when I making so much money shooting. Driving my Winnebago pulling a trailer with my golf cart.

I didn't realize i would hurt GHairgunners feeling so much. And no, Winnebago's are not my style. I prefer a Super C Seneca for my traveling....diesel power and all you know. With a 24" trailer , two carts and all the other stuff, you need horse power.
And just so you know, yes, two of my kids make a living teaching and shooting. And we travel the country doing so. I worked my tail off since i was a little boy dreaming of this. And I made it happen. If you are Jealous of this, GOOD.
My daughter was/is a State, National, and World champ. My son won a handgun national championship this year.
All the while i am a simple tool and die maker. Save your money and get busy. Crying won't get you there.

Carry on....

I've thought about it extensively. Traditional strollers, shotgun course strollers, carts, wagons, all of it. But I've finally found something sufficient for my needs. Thoughts?

Did your kids win national titles too?

Ah that might be tough to fit next to you in the shooting lane!

Maybe just hire a porter!

I use a yard wagon with pneumatic tires. I can remove the sides if need be. I keep a tarp in there sometimes so if it rains I can stack my gun(s), tripod, SCBA tank bag, and whatever else I don't want to get wet in the wagon and drape the tarp over it to run it back to shelter. Then I can go back out to grab my chair, table, and target/pellet trap. I use this around the house at my personal shooting range. I don't think it's something you'd want to lug around to competitions or to a public shooting range. It's on the heavy side to put into and take out of a pick-up truck bed.

Something like this. I think mine was $120 and it is another brand.

You can sort of see mine in the background behind the table and rifle in the photo below. The table, chair, SCBA tank, turret rest, and rifle all go in there in one load on most days or I may sling the rifle over my shoulder with everything else in the cart. If it starts to rain, I stack the important things in there first and transport them to a dry location, then come back for the rest.

i kinda like the stroler idea because i could push it in the house and park it so it would serve as rack. we keep the guns in the sunroom ready to go all the time the wagon would be nice for the yard but i dont want one in the house.

 

[SDsteph]

I have a stroller and find it tippy and my wife finds it difficult to pull out the rifle when seated, ready to shoot her lane. I looked for alternatives and finally found one:

MULE Trailer w/ Quick Release Tow Bar - Earth+Kin

I have to work out how to mount the bolt on ATV style rifle mounts, or perhaps hobble something together made of wood and shock absorbing materials. Or 3D printed - oh boy another toy !?!?!

Not a jogger is the tough part it seems .

I did a image search to view pictures of what's posted around and it just looks 90% jogger types .. but maybe scroll on down you may find something outside the box interesting



Luckily I don't pcp so it's a tin of pellets in my pocket and the springer in hand and I go shoot ...
