Range carts...
How many of you have converted a jogging stroller into range carts?
Let's see some pics and ideas.

Id be interested in some links to some good gun mounts especially if they're wide enough to hold a folded up tripod.
 
I built one for coyote calling, I stripped off the fabric crap and mounted the end of a small poly barrel as low weight bearing portion, I have cut that down to about 6-8" tall. I lined that with some old carpet. Then up at the top near the handle made a support for 2 Kolpin atv gun carrier supports. Redneck farmer stuff for sure but it works. Find the ones with the largest wheels that will roll over rough trails. Most expensive part was the kolpin atv brackets.
 
This is what I use. It will roll over just about anything. I mounted a collapsible milk crate on it and use a small bicycle bungee net over the top of it all.
I hump the rifle, but just about everything else goes on the wheel.


Edit…
But I just realized that your talking shooting at the range, Not hunting.
 
I use a faded putrid-green '90s-vintage jogging stroller with all the extraneous bits removed. The only thing I'll note is that ATV gun brackets don't work for me for carrying a rifle.

Reason: center of gravity is too high for a 15-20 pound rifle - too easy for the whole thing to tip over on uneven terrain.

The majority of matches I shoot are at a venue where a lot of the drives/paths are covered with golfball-to-peach-size riprap. The jogging stroller wheels will traverse the packed-down stones ok, but it's bumpy. The rifle bounces and flips around more than I'll put up with. So, the ATV brackets carry a tripod on one side and a folding chair for my geriatric backside on the other, and the rifle is carried in a soft case laid over the range bag and support bags. For short distances between stages, I carry the rifle in one hand and push the stroller with the other.

For USPSA-style matches, the ATV brackets are fine for lightweight PCCs unless terrain is too bumpy or uneven.
