    Wall mounted Brass Catcher for range?

    I saw one being used at my local range, but can't seem to find anything similar on line.
    Maybe it was a DIY.

    It was made of cloth/net and attached to the stall divider.
    Probably 18" wide, 30-36" high and stuck out ca 12" from the wall.
    Top part worked as an angled deflector in to the lower collector part.

    Any seen anything like it?

    Hardest part with reloading for handguns, is keeping your brass. And between my different handguns - I don't even know if they eject to the right side, so maybe this is a dead end project

    the trick is to dial down your loads to the point that they are powerful enough to get the next round to load yet weak enough to hardly burp the brass out so it lands in a nice pile at your feet..
    Boy the way Glen Miller played, songs that made the hit parade, guys like us we had it made, those were the days, and you know where you were then, girls were girls and men were men, mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again, didn't need no welfare states everybody pulled his weight, gee our old Lasalle ran great, those were the days!

    who wants a fishtank?

      - Have not quite mastered that part
      My 1911's are pretty ok even with factory ammo - one you could put a bucket at your 4 O'clock, 10 feet away and be done. The 9mm's, not so much

        Although this is great if you're content with any sort of load and a perfectly functioning gun, it doesn't work for a lot of reloaders like myself who try to replicate the same full power punch of a factory defensive load. Making light loads is fine in my opinion for giving to new shooters, but to me it seems like a detriment to a practice regimen, as you become more and more used to such a light load that if you ever went back to a full powered factory load, you would be flinching like crazy from the perceived much heavier recoil.

          I saw something similar at the range a few weeks ago. The guy had taken an inexpensive camera tripod and a fishing net and hooked them together with double-sided velcro. The brass had plenty of oomph to launch itself into the hanging net. One of the advantages of this is that he could move it around and didn't need a wall to attach it to. Looked way easy to make too!
