Im taking a rifle course saturday and am wondering if anyone has any tips on what to bring?

So far on my list to wear/bring is:
-Boots
-Long pants with double knees
-Gun belt
-OWB double glock mag holster
-OWB Glock holster
-Chest rig with 6 glock mags, 3-5 AK mags depending how I decide to run it, and some medical gear (gauze, tourniquet, sharpie, aspirin, alcohol pads, quick clot)
-I have plates but looks like stupid fucking first spear STILL wont have my carrier to me by then even though I ordered it on April 8th with no backorder or lead time noted on the site...
-AKM clone w/ sling in 762x39 with about 20ish loaded mags and the rest of the ammo loose
-Glock 19 with 20ish mags loaded
-Hat
-2 Long sleeve shirts (im assuming ill sweat enough to wanna switch it mid day)
-Gallon of water
-Shorts, tshirt, trash bags and towels for the ride home (its supposed to rain bad Saturday)
-Eye and ear protection

Any insights or necessary stuff I didnt think of for a full 8-10 hours of training?

I haven't taken a class but been researching equipment needed from AARs on various forums so I know what to start picking up for when the time comes I can take some classes. Found a lot of good info.

well I hope when you ripped it off you got all of it off of you, the head tends to stick

I give outside cat, puppy and inside cat their flea/tick pills on 15th of every month, or I'd be scared shitless due to where I live

couple years ago, i thought I had a zit on my lower back, kept itching/scratching it for a couple days, then I showed my husband was a HUGE ASS TICK, yeah that bitch was so full of blood

Yeah I dig my finger nails under their heads kinda like if it was a zit. It digs some skin out too but always gets the whole tick.

Sun block, chapstick, pen & paper (if you need to take notes). Also a small pack of magic markers, in case you want to mark your shot groups in zero. Speed loader (if you have your ammo on stripper clips) gloves, (rifle get HOT!) sight adj. tool, small screw driver. If you think its going to pour on you all day, bring spare socks and foot powder, and a 2nd pair to wear on the ride home.

damn i knew you of all people would be full of knowledge for this kind of thing

sun block will be good for my rather light black skin, chapstick too
pen and paper might be good, ill def add those
not sure if were shooting steel or paper so ill add a marker if i can find one
i wish i had a speed loader lol
I actually bought gloves for this just forgot to add to my list above
sight adj tools are GREAT and I would have never thought of that!!
I always have a screw driver handy, its a sweet feature on my knife ;)

Yes, water proof boots, but the rain could (will) get in your boots from the top, esp. if you tuck your pants in your boots. Oh I almost forgot, leather man type tool.
