Do you pickup your brass?

[BlackdogGS]

I always have. When I come across a pile of 223 or 7.62 I'll pick that up too. I like to keep our public/private shooting areas cleaner than I found them but I must be a exception. What's your thoughts?

I do, I even bring gloves, buckets, trash bags & a rake everytime I go to outdoor ranges.
I normally go to the evergreen sportsman's club nowadays but they are not open on Monday and Tuesday so I must shoot elsewhere.

If I can save only one shooting area it is worth it!!!

What about your bullets?

 

[Pandaz3]

I don't reload, but I try to police up everything I have fired and put it in one bag, If there is extra I place it in a second bag and rimfire in a third. I toss the rimfire in the Garbage and give the other two bags to a buddy that reloads, the first bag being 'once fired' brass, and the second unknown.
Edit. Steelcase goes in the rimfire bag

 

[etrain16]

Yes I do.

 

[JRuby]

I pick up my own and all other brass laying around that doesn't have an owner

 

[mrblond]

Always, although as I dont reload, I will offer it to anyone at the range that wants it if they pick it up.

 

[Dungannon]

Always. Reloadable stuff to a friend. Steel case and rimfire to the garbage, along with shotgun hulls and any other trash I see lying about. It's easy to do for the stuff I shoot, because I lay a large plastic tarp down first. I'm annoyed by, but resigned to, all the crap that others leave on public lands. I bring extra black plastic bags, gloves and a rake for the non-shooting debris.

 

[JRuby]

Pisses me off when some one patrols my brass for me meanig they are going to take my brass without my permission while I am still there. If I were to leave it's one thing it's another to just take it.

 

[BlackdogGS]

Good to hear. A few weeks ago I met some guys at the local shooting spot. I had never seen them before, they were friendly and knowledgeable shooters. I was surprised they left all their brass and garbage behind. Here in The Dalles the local shooters have occasional cleanup days.

 

[DB is Here]

I've always removed the targets I've shot and pick up a few others that forgot what their Mom taught them. I've never picked up my brass though, I guess I should start.

 

[Diamondback]

Haven't been out on a range in a while, but I have a brasscatcher permanently fitted to my AR so it'll be self-policing from shot one.

 

[mkwerx]

We pick up our brass - and try to clean up more than we brought.

 

[Caveman Jim]

What about your bullets?

Only if I feel great that day....
Otherwise I'll leave it to the dedicated lead mining junkies....

 

[thorborg]

Always, oh, except the ones that run away and hide

 

[Certaindeaf]

Yep. And when it snows, revolvers are pretty sweet. lol

 

[Camelfilter]

Yes.

 

[CountryGent]

At a gun club or public range, yes, I police up all my brass. On my own private acreage, generally no, though sometimes depending on what I'm shooting.

 

[bbbass]

Reloadable brass is like treasure. At the range I pick up after myself and others too. During a shoot, we all pick our brass and tape targets. But sometimes I don't get my brass back because I am busy loading up for the next stage and I guess I just get missed in the shuffle.

Awesome philosophy code that I also live by.
