My plan at the moment is to use a bed sheet with some lightweight frame as a wall so I can find my brass afterwards. This is a place out of the wind so that's not an issue. Any other suggestions for a brass stopper? Not just shooting AR's so needs to catch them all so I can find em.

Fishing net. I find that the AR is easy to police up brass from. I have an SAR 3 that throws it into the next county.

Big ass blue tarp.
Cheap- water proof so you can rise it off- doubles as shelter if the weather goes to pot.
I just lay it out on the ground near my lane.

I use a tarp as well, makes it nice and easy. You just weigh it down with the rest of your guns or ammo or whatever.

yeah, i've found if i put the gun cases on the far edge of the tarp it creates a little wall to stop the brass from rolling off or skipping off, especially while prone.

Haha, that's what I was wondering Elhuero.

Well just to put to rest any fear that I'm dumb enough to have more than one wife, I was talking about tarps :)

Sure every once in a while the thought comes along but then just think what it would be like if they both had that time of month at the same exact time! Yeah, you would need to take off a week every month and go visit your wives in another state :)

The Mrs asked me once if I had a girlfriend. I told her "Are you freakin nuts? With all the aggrevation one woman can provide why in Gods name would I compound it?"


And thats how the fight started.................

If she stays in one place ,that will limit the amount of running she does chasing brass. Of course having the tarp gives her more quality time to cook or clean:)

Actually I think I am going to print this entire thread off and show my wife. She will probably be so grateful she married me instead of you guys that she will volunteer to catch the shells for me! [ROFL2]

If she's wearing a low-cut shirt, your shells are almost guaranteed to magnetize there!

Thanks but I need it for pistols and such as well. I think my wife is warming up to the idea of catching them for me!
