Why we're giving away an $89.99 range bag

A plastic factory case, a grocery sack of ammo, ear pro wrapped around an arm.

I'm not knocking it. Most of us started exactly there.

But a range bag is one of those purchases that is easy to put off for years, because there is always something more interesting to spend the money on. Ammo. An optic. Another holster to add to the drawer of holsters that didn't work out.

So we're taking that decision off your plate.

Join Guardian Nation and we will ship you a Talon Range Bag. It sells for $89.99 normally, and it goes out in the same box as your new member welcome kit.

Here is what I want you to know about the bag, because "free gift with membership" almost always means a trash import with a logo sewn on.

This isn't that. Our team at Ready Up Gear designed it from scratch, took it to the range, found the things we didn't like, and rebuilt it. Two padded gun sleeves, one on each side. A lockable main compartment. A magazine pocket with layered elastic so you can stack mags instead of dumping them. And much more.

If we wouldn't carry it to the range ourselves, we wouldn't put our name on it. We definitely wouldn't give it away.

Which brings up the fair question: why give away an $89.99 bag?

Because Guardian Nation works when thousands of members share the cost. That is the whole model. It's what lets us produce real training instead of thin videos, and it's what lets us buy gear at prices no individual shooter can get. We would rather put that money into gear in your hands than into an ad you scroll past.

The full picture is on the page: what else is in the welcome kit, how the quarterly Guardian Gear Boxes work, what's inside Guardian University, and everything else membership includes. Go read it and decide for yourself.

Stay sharp,

P.S. If you already own a range bag you like, join anyway and hand the Talon to somebody who doesn't. Every one of us knows a guy who just bought his first pistol and is still hauling it to the range in a plastic case and a grocery sack. Giving him a real bag is a better introduction to this world than anything you could say to him.
