I've finally scored a suitable jogging stroller to turn into a range cart to lug all the required paraphernalia around for a day of shooting. I sure would appreciate pics of your setup, along with leads on where you found required components. Where do folks get the rubber coated hooks vees to secure rifles?

Jogging stroller
You need to ask a couple of the western F Class shooters about the shooting cart races at Connaught I won't mention any names here but there is a funny story that maybe those involved would like to share.
Forget the jogging stroller and go with one of these http://w ww.tipkemfg.com/foldit/ I am sure you will find enough kit to fill it up.

My cart, and a couple of others, is from Rugged Gear and is intended for shotgun shooters. It came with the gun cradles, but a suitable ATV bracket would do the trick for sure. I may have an extra bracket if you're stuck.
Matt, I built a piece out of plywood and lined with foam and screwed it to the footrest to put the gun butt into. I think I bought the Kolpin brand "V" from Cabelas in the US but any attachments shop should have them.
I'll search my photobucket to see if I still have pics on there

The Vs come from the ATV section at Cabelas.
Here are two options.
Option 1
The Fold UP Cart is quite popular in Phoenix.
If the link does not work, just go to the Lee Valley and search for cart and have a look at the folding one.
They fold up very narrow for transport.

Option 2
I have built four like this. This one just happened to be for three gun but mine is set up for my FTR rifle on one side and spotting scope stand on the other side.
The seat folds up so you can get at your 5.11 range bag.
I know it looks a bit like a wheelchair but it seems that if I am not in it someone else is all the time so it can't be that bad.
I know the shotgun barrel is not secured at the top but the customer wanted a picture of it that day.
And when I secure the large golf umbrella to it there seems to be people on the shady side of the cart.

At some of the larger 3-Gun matches you'll see tricked out Polaris "Razor" ATV's... All rigged to carry guns/ammo and whatever else the raging 3-gunner needs... By comparison the golf cart is somewhat pedestrian lol
I'll have to stick with my jogging stroller... Towing a Razor for thousands of Km's every year would certainly be a pain.
