I finally joined HDF and I'm looking forward to participating in the monthly shoots, and more.  But having seen the most recent range day recap video, I'm worried I won't have the necessary gear. 

I have a few handguns I'd like to use at the shoots, but I only have in-the-waistband holsters (for carrying around the house), do I need belt holsters?  How much ammo should I bring?  Aside from the required eye and ear protection, can you guys help me compile a list of things I should bring?  Thanks!

I would definitely bring a solid construction (one that stays open when you draw) holster.

Definitely wear pants and not shorts. "Funtimes" is notorious for getting down and dirty drills.

Wear covered shoes.

Bring sunscreen.

Bring water and food.

I would bring at least 200 rounds of ammo.

I would advise wearing a hat, to help shield the sun and protect your head and eyes from flying brass.

everything that kk said and mag holster/pouches

Water for sure, it can get a little warm out there.

HDF is nice enough to bring target stands, so I bring my own targets.

More ammo than you think you're gonna need.

Cool guns.  You'll probably see a few things you'd like to "sample"

 

maybe extra underwear too KK?

Thanks kk for that thorough list.  200+ rounds, woo!  Some days at the bullseye range I don't even go through 50! 

sirkaiks - right, can't forget that!

pit808 - water for sure.  Yeah i was wondering about the target frame/target situation, cool thanks!  I don't have any "cool guns" yet..  but hey, I'll bring something or other. 

Hm, how much to join?

I believe its $20 or so.  Plus whatever you'd like to donate as well.  I try to give Funtimes what little I can spare each range day to thank him for getting that action bay for us.

It's all of you giving what we can spare which helps us keep it going.  We were able to get and make those nifty moving targets (which we are going to refine a little bit) from those donations. It also helps cover some of the wood and lumber.
