What documentation should I put in a Range Book?

I'm trying to make a new range book for my company.
I have some ideas on what to put in there, but I'm looking for any recommendations from other former SLs PSGs or PLs?

A good range book is kind of specific to the range you are running. You should have the CONOP, DRAW, range SOP, TO&Es for whatever tasks are being trained, and copies of applicable TCs and TMs for weapons you are shooting.

CONOP w/ Timeline, range bulletin from range if applicable(mostly for LFX), DRAW, Ammo breakdown/Magazine data cards, CASEVAC plan/Strip map for Womack or Role 2/3, any policy letters your unit has on ranges or LFX.

I would add the daily range bulletin, a training area map, the unit training/range schedule, and the phone number for the snack truck!
