[Fwdftw]

hey man lol it is what it is.. when its 95 degrees outside and im done shooting.. im ready to get my ass in the AC and go home! fyi im only 26 Hahaha

Get one of those commercial dustpans that has the handle on it, and a broom... Works better than the "brass picker upper" . You won't have to bend over anymore. It's also likely faster than the roller.

It should be noted, I shoot on a concrete slab.. but i think even on gravel or in dirt, it would work just fine. Should be able to pick one up at Lowes or Home Depot I would think...

"Thingy"..... You don't know how much time I've spent trying to get people to quit using that word.

Are you referring to Ammo-Up, Brass Wizard, or a 21 year old blonde in hot pants?

Unfortunately its kinda grassy

The rolling cages pick up gravel and ignore some of the brass.
I've had better results with the little (under an inch) rubber suction cups:

Or you could have children, but they might become expensive in the long run.

So far have not had the need to stake the corners down or put any weight on the ends.

For the ones that miss the tarp.

Thinking the harbor freight is a good idea people ..

Fiance suggested a old sheet? Hmm

and about half the price.

If you are stationary when shooting, pick up a painter's canvas and place it where the brass hits. It won't get it all, but it will catch a good portion for you.
Get a large, weighted one.

I use a sheet of army surplus mosquito netting and the roller thingy from Dillon. I also use the CTK Precision Universal Brass Catcher with a small sturdy tripod that is adjustable from 13" to 42". Neither are perfect, but using a combination of all, catches and/or collects 99% of my 10mm brass. At close to 20 cents a pop, I'm determined to retrieve all my brass, if possible.

I also made one from surplus mosquito netting, which worked great, but it is too big to transport in my car. (Sold my truck :crying: because I couldn't take $4 a gallon anymore.)

If you can't bend over and pick up brass, how will you ever be able to mine lead out of the berms? :dunno:

We're trying to make a proper CRB out of you, dammit!

if you want really cheap get a piece of concrete rebar and bend it so that it lays back like a lawn chair and sew a sheet on it

I too am very disappointed in him. :crying:

He is trying to save a buck.

The trouble with plain tarps, sheets, painter’s canvas. Is that the wind gets up underneath them and knocks all of the brass off. Unless you stake the ends down (then you trip over the stakes) or put weight on the ends. Mesh tarps at least in the last two years that I have been using them I have not had to do any of the above. Yes you have to pay a little for them but they are well worth the price in the long run. Plus I probably get 99% or more of my brass back using the mesh tarps.

 

[Colorado4Wheel]

Thats what is so nice about the CED. Mesh Tarp with the weights built in. Very nice really.
