Finally got one of those Midway Range bags

The only bad thing about the Midway bag, almost everyone at the range has one and most are Olive Drab, so I added this stencil to mine

I've seen you there. Or rather I've seen that stencil on an OD range bag. I'm going to add the bio hazard stencil to mine.

Stop by and say Hi, always nice to meet folks from MSGO at the range.

I'll keep an eye out for the Bio hazard stencil.

I also have a glow in the dark stencils of the mil-spec monkey on my black pistol sleeves.

Midway just recently "designed" theirs and started selling it. I'm not sure anyone can look at the two bags side by side and not see that one is a blatant rip off of a small business man's ideas and hard work.

The Midway version is $60 cheaper and a great design, but I just wanted everyone to know the facts before making their own decisions.

Something to remember about Midway, despite their "Round Up" service to raise
money to donate to the NRA and the fact that the principal is a shooter, "Battenfield
Technologies"" the nominal umbrella organization or corporation that supposedly
owns their slew of "brand names" such as Frankford Arsenal and Wheeler Engineering
is really just a clever fiction cover story for the fact that nearly all their product line
unless its bought from suppliers here in the US, is in fact cheaper knockoffs of US
made or designed products that are then made by slave labor in China.

I've grown highly disillusioned with Midway lately, these "sales" they run so often
show the real value of their products, their deluxe shooting mat nominally selling
for $99.00 got put on sale less than a month ago for $49.00 and then cut to $29.00
which is probably about what its worth, the one I bought was poorly stitched and
NOT nearly waterproof from ground moisture on a cool day and their Wheeler Engineering
deluxe gunsmith screwdriver set I finally sent back with an irate complaint had
several of the bits so poorly heat treated that they distorted on not that tightly
in place screw heads. So for now I'll go with Brownell's products marked Made In USA!!!
Plus Midway has gotten simply out of sight on shipping costs lately if anyone's
noticed.

I just noticed this post and now feel like an idiot for supporting Midway, although my support has to this point been very limited as I buy very little from them. Looks like I'll be stenciling over the Midway logo on my bag.

I'm, a little slow on the take-up, obviously (the above quote was from a posting made several weeks ago). But I did stumble across this topic & quote and thought I’d respond.

As to “...put in it and where”, I’ve got a Handgun Forum topic, “Me 'N' My Range Bag”, that I posted 7/19/10, that more or less responds to this question, albeit not involving a Midway bag.

You can find it at: http://www.msgunowners.com/t7195-me-n-my-range-bag

A caution: I really messed up that posting. It is made up of three parts. I unfortunately left out part 2 in the original posting. Part 2 got posted afterwards (it immediately follows the first posting) and should be inserted right after the line:
“Color: Surprisingly enough this became an issue”

One of these days I’ll grow up and learn how to work all this stuff.

Love mine!!

Love the bag bro. I went to order one and all I had was the iPad and I kept having issues with the order from midway. I know it's the company it is the iPad,I guess I will just have to hope they go back on sale sooner rather than later.
