Here's one with my 1911, for scale:
Contents:
Eye and Ear protection (2 each)I'd take some Hoppes, bore patches, etc., but the range is pretty close to home, and there's no good place to clean the guns there.
First Aid kit
Ammo (.45 ACO and .22)
Hats (to keep hot ejected brass from landing on my forehead, qty 2)
Flashlight
Survival-Kit-in-a-can
Rag to wipe down guns
So that's it. What have I left out?

I'm not a minimalist. Been told I'm plain nuts for all of the stuff I put in my bag. But when I need it, I have it.
Take a gander at the range bag contents I have:
Range bag contents.
I'd recommend a multi-tool and a dowel for range emergencies. Multi-tool comes in real handy when grip screws come loose or sights need adjusting; dowel helps if you have a squid load or other obstruction.
Stapler and staples and/or clips to put up targets.
Heck, I'll just follow North's lead and post a link to some things you might want in your range bag...
I have a roll of masking tape for targets. (My staple gun broke.) Binoculars because I can't see a .22 hole at 50 yards. A baggie with some toilet paper. (Old habit from the Boy Scouts.) I need to get one of those multi-tools like Jay blogged about a little while back. I don't have a first aid kit yet but next month I'm attending a range first aid course and they'll cover necessities for making that.
OB tampons are just perfect for bullet wounds, but for some reason men rarely keep them in their range bags ;-)
Multitool, QuikClot, Israeli Wound Bandages.
ECU Sucks!
That is all.
Tourniquet..
Quick Clot is good as are the Israeli bandagges. Have all my LEO students and State Troopers looking for them for their kits.

or just a 1 1/2' flexible belt and stick to twist it tight.
OR a Swat T

Otherwise what they all said!!!
I carry extra hearing and eye protection also.
And a couple of multi tools.
As stated Multi tool, and perhaps a hex wrench kit if you do a lot of scope work. I have a roll of duct tape and a container of tacks. (this is in addition to the targets in my bag) A gun mat as well is always useful. Something that you can put a hot fire arm down on that it wont melt, and will keep it from getting harmed.
Small digital camera
Spare batteries
Why the giant flashlight? A much smaller LED flashlight will throw just about the same amount of light, for a substantial saving in space.
I won't mention 'pocketknife' because of course you have one of those in your pocket. Rule 9: never go anywhere without a knife.
