I EDC a Maxpedition Vulture 2 and it's very well built but not sure if it's strong enough for all the ammo and crap us IPSC guys carry.
I think my shooters gear bag is about 40-50 lbs. The bag works great just my neck starts to hurt after moving from one range to another.
I've seen some guys use the DAA backpack but not sure if it's large enough.

I believe Shooters Gear is working on a competition specific backpack. Give Ken a call and ask him.

can't wait...
My current shooters gear bag has been great, been using it for 10 years.

Looke at the guga in greece, didn't like it one bit, too rigid and didn't like the comparment layout. lots of dead space and areas where you just pile stuff in. DAA was similar
I've been running a Falcon 2 for longer than i can remember, love it. Only complaint is that i whis it were a tad bigger. Musky, don't worry about that vulture being able to take the weight. I've had 500 rounds of 40 and a few boxes of 9mm along with my mags, parts kit, and some gator aide bottles hanging off the side of my Falcon with no problems. The great thing about the Max gear is the molle on the outside, you can allways add stuff, i have a few AR tacos which work great for power/cliff bars, those old 3x30rd AR mag holders fit a big bottle of gator aid perfectly, and I added a utility pouch to the side for my camera. I tried to replace it with a large bag from Blackhawk but found that the pockets were too big so i had a hard time finding stuff.
I don;t carry my guns in the back pack, i have a hard case for that. and use a cable cuff to secure my belt to the back pack. the pouch for the hydration bladder can hold 4 100rd and 1 50 rnd45acp/10mm dillion boxes. the next pocket i have kneepads my gun cover, headphones, a large oakley vault (before my Gargoyles days) my inner belt and my file folder with all my paperwork. next pocket is where i keep my mags using a 6 mag sleeve( EGW or similar) mag brush, kiwi cloth spare springs and bases pads, lower front is tools and a little plastic parts box, top one is snacks, camera, wallet and keys. could also stuff a bottle of gator aid in after i took my head phones and inner belt out of the main pocket. I don;t use my range bag for carry on like some do, so another pluse for the falcon is that it doesn't take up much space in my suitcase when I have to fly to a match. the straps are comfortable and it sits up high on the back, even if you only use one strap, so it doesn't bump into my mags or gun when walking between stages. If they ever decide to make a Falcon 3 I'll be all over it but untill then I'm sticking with the 2. I have NO affiliation with Maxpedition, just a user and big fan of their gear

IPSC Backpack
After my left shoulder has officially become permanently lower than the right one, I decided to invest in a backpack. Looked at several models and so far the choice is between the Guga Ribas and the new RangePackPro model by Comp. Edge Dynamics (sold by Double Alpha). Anyone who has seen / tried both please comment on the size, convenience, inerior layout, etc. of those two backpacks, compared to each other.
Input much appreciated.
