Brass Catchers

[paperboy98]

I've tried and tried to design a functional brass catcher for use when shooting my semi auto pistols, but without much success. I shoot at both indoor and outdoor ranges.
What do you use or what have you built that really works without being a bother to your shooting? Post photos if possible. Thanks

My old department's range guys bought one of these

Ammo-Up Shotgun Shell and Brass Collectors

Worked very well on a smoother surface (our range had astroturf over concrete. It wasn't as effective on the dirt area outside the 25 yard line, but it still got probably 50%+ of the brass in the dirt, which was 50% less bending down for us.

Or just throw a large tarp down over where you are going to shoot. Then just bunch up the tarp when you're done.

That is one neat looking rig, but at $395 for the 16" wide one and $495 for the 24" wide one, the tarp seems like a much better deal.

This one from Bubca, seems like a more realistic price range one, and involves just setting it up to catch brass.

These seem to be overboard. There should be something that attaches to the wrist or hand that will catch the brass.

Had to laugh. When I saw Graco my first thought was this.

Here is one I saw a lot of shooters using at my last bullseye match..

I shoot in my father's field and have been trying to figure a framework, that would allow me to put up a tarp vertically, leaving the bottom laid out a little. This way it would cover a large area, stop the brass from going far, and allow it to still be visible once it reaches bottom.

Yep,
That's what I use for both pistol and rifle.
Scored them from Ebay some time ago.
They work perfectly.

Ah Grasshopper, Try using chopsticks, when you can pluck a full magazine load from the air before brass hits ground you may wear Black Belt proudly instead of being whipped by black belt. Remember Wacks on - Wacks-off.

Oh wow man, somebody's talking pretty bad about that dude Wacks On.

Meanwhile back at the ranch...

Here's another concept...

Brass Grabber Empty Case Catcher

Go to the fishing department and get a big fish net. Set it to the side where the cases fly right in the hoop into the net. Cheap, easy.

This one would work also... Just teach the little booger picker to catch the brass and drop it in the brass storage area under the seat.
