Range rules: shooting vs. brass collecting

[Serpico1985]

I have had old men at my range literally try to catch my .45 brass out of the air. That's actually the least irritating thing that routinely happens.

On numerous occasions I have had members approach me while I was shooting to inform me that I was violating the SOP by allowing my muzzle to point above the berm during reloads. You know, empty gun, slide locked back, maybe angled up at 15 to 20 degrees. This is a bi-product of the range being overwhelming run by people without any modern shooting training who apply the rules selectively. Drives me crazy. Makes me want to rage quit. I've come close many times. If there were any other reasonable options I'd tell them where they could shove their SOPs.

Sorry for the side rant. Best of luck with issue.

Serpico--sounds like we shoot at the same range...

I occasionally hit the range on Sundays dressed like this hoarding brass along with holding a net next to shooters.



It's a guilty pleasure of mine. I'm sorry.

LOLOL!!! I'm putting that on a wanted poster and posting it at the action range.

Just drop a few twice used 9 major cases around those guys...They LOVE that.

Assuming of course, that you get two uses from your 9 major case...

I LOVE leaving 9major. I also keep all my .380's and plan to dump them out as the situation dictates.

I haven't seen anything so wild. Matches allow brass pickup after the last shot and targets are struck. I am one of those old guys and am usually too tired to stoop. I recover brass from practice and buy or trade for empties.
One commercial range here limits brass recovery to your own stuff.
We shall see about the new place alleged to open this month.

If all else fails, revolvers and .22s still work.

Go for it. If you do ever see one I'm the one with multicam sordins

Some of y'alls' stories make me glad that all of my local ranges are fairly decent.
