    Usually 3. I am a member at a private range where we can shoot paper to 300 and steel from 400 to 600. Always enjoy meeting like minded people and don't have to put up with the sometimes dangerous general public at the public ranges.

    Usually 2-3 make the trip, rarely more than 5.

    Being as I live in Houston, it is a bit of a drive (~75 minutes each way) so I generally carry 3-5.

    Especially during the hot months (which is a good bit of the year!) I tend to take more so by the time I cycle through, the first barrel is sorta cooled.

    5 to 7 . This gives some time to cool off and you can still shoot

    Usually 2 or 3 rifles and as many pistols. Cycle through them while letting barrels cool.

    I once made the mistake of bringing almost all to the range . . . . .NEVER AGAIN!!!

    Took two days to clean them all! (Can’t abide a dirty firearm!)

    Now take a maximum of TWO!

    I have made that same mistake a time or two.

    Usually 2-3, depending on my timeframe and goals. I almost always bring a rimfire since I am way better at letting barrels cool if I can entertain myself with that.

    Rimfires are great to have on hand when waiting on a hot pipe.
    Pistola is a given since I carry, and at least one of my RRA's
    go also.

    Usually at least my P226 on my person, and 1-2 long guns. I live close to my range, so I try and keep the packing and cleaning to a minimum when I can go any time I want.

    1 gun to shoot. The 2nd goes down range , just encase someone tries to steal the other one on the bench.

    State Range- Guy shooting alone. Checks target at 100 yards. While down range, a guy comes up over the bank, grabs rifle and jumps into waiting car below.

    I take 1 handgun and 1 rifle, or just 1 and do I thing at the range.

    I shot next to a younger gentleman who brought his family (mother, girl friend) etc, he brought 13 plus weapons with drum mags etc, he was the probably the entire day, my buddy and I had fun shooting some of his guns.

    Yeap, left magazines, left ammo, left targets, heck I left my range access key card at home and home is 25 miles one way :-)

    If going to an indoor pistol range, I will usually take more than I should, maybe 4-6. I will take nearly all of them if taking someone new to shooting and usually a 22 rifle. I go to a rifle only range that goes out past 750, then it's 2, the one I spend most of my time with, and the backup that may come out to see how it competes. At a typical range, I try to keep it 5 or under with a mix of rifles & pistols. As with what others have agreed on, it's no fun spending the next day or two cleaning barely use guns.

    I usually bring a mix of rifles and pistols in case one range is too full I can go to the other.

    Since I can walk 100 feet from the reload bench or gun safe, I only take two instead of twelve...but trade them out in rotation any length from 50 yrds to 350 yrds. What a pleasure it is to lock the front gate put up the warning signs and shoot shoot shoot.

    I was taking two (Bersa.22 and Beretta 92FS handguns) but once they open I will be taking four, the two mentioned earlier and my new Ruger 22/45 and the Savage 110.

    I usually bring 3 to 4 on average. Usually a couple of 22 rifles Im tinkering with as well as my Ruger 22/45 which always comes along. If its Sunday I bring the shotgun along for some skeet and spend half the day there.
