Solution Overview
Problem
Range shooters face safety and organizational challenges due to disorganized shooting bags, which can lead to distractions and potentially dangerous situations as they need to rummage through unmarked pockets while focusing on firearm safety and range instructions.
Innovation Solution
A multi-pocketed shooting bag with removable item designators that can be securely attached to the exterior or interior surfaces, allowing customization and easy identification of contents, along with a flexible designation tablet and hook-and-loop connectors for durable and washable item symbols.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple soft-sided pockets are added to the shooting bag to organize supplies, then the organization capability is improved, but the bag surface becomes completely covered and difficult to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The bag is divided into multiple soft-sided pockets with flaps, each pocket being a separate segment that can be independently opened and accessed. This segmentation allows organization of supplies while maintaining access to individual pockets without needing to search through the entire bag.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the bag is made completely disorganized to maximize flexibility, then the adaptability is improved, but the shooter's safety and attention to range instructions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Pockets are pre-designated for specific types of supplies (ammunition, targets, safety equipment) before use. This preliminary organization allows shooters to quickly locate needed items without rummaging, maintaining safety compliance while providing flexible access to organized supplies.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides a safe and organized way for range shooters to manage their supplies, minimizing distractions and ensuring compliance with range rules by allowing quick identification and easy reconfiguration of pocket contents, even in harsh environments.
Implementation Method 1
a soft flap connected to a front surface of the soft-sided pocket by a snap, clasp or hook and loop connector
