When I shoot Ruger Rimfire competition it requires a handgun and a rifle. So I copied what a lot of the folks are doing that also shoot 3 gun competirion. Go buy a use baby stoller, the jogging type. and modify it a bit. i got mine for $30 off Craingslist and spent an additional $30 for the rilfe holders. Her is what I use. I din't put it on fo the picture, b ut there is pleanty of room for a small ice chest on the platofrm on th rfront and the is an area under where you can toss mis stuff. Some folks have rigges up a pation umbrel for those hot days. I'm going to do tht for this summer.
The black range bag just sits where the kid normall sits and carries the hand gun or handguns, all your ammo a cleanin kit, a tool box, etc.So her is the second pic to give just a bit of a different view. As you an see, the cart has balloon tires so give you equipment a nice soft ride. Be happy to answer any questions you may have. This works great and doesn't cost much.

I used a golf bag cart with a milk crate bungie'd to the bottom. Load the ammo first then the pistol cases and finally use the golf cart bag straps to secure your rifles or shotguns. Worked great till my neighbor wanted his cart back. I've seen them for less than $25 at WalMart.

That's a great idea, Braz. And it has the benefit of having a brake so it won't roll away. Plus, it's collapsable for easy storage in the car.

Heres one I made for Cowboy action shooting, But it also works well on camping trips, and trap shoots.
This is the conection to the wagon. Its easily removable.connection inside the wagon
this locks it to the axle.
Theres room for 5 long guns, and couple of range bags in the front, or a med sized icechest. DR

Sorry for highjacking but I gotta know......which receiver sight are you using on that 10-22 Braz?
Sharps, the rifle that made the west safe for Winchester!
Real tractors have two cylinders and hand clutches.
My rifle is mine, it isn't for sale, and I only give guns to people that I really like.
