I hate it when these threads start to get childish

I also pick up trash when I go shooting. I agree that laying a tarp down before shooting is a great way to keep these places cleaner. An average afternoon shooting .22's can involve over two thousand rounds, so the tarp is a Godsend!

I will be using a tarp soon. I have see people using them and always feel bad for not spending the time to pick up 1000 .22 rounds. This will make it much easyier

I use a blue tarp but it was recommended to me to use a canvas painters tarp as the brass won't bounce off as easy.

I bought a canvas painters tarp this evening based on the recommendations of this group.

Care to say what size you got, how much it cost, and where you found it? I haven't looked yet so I'm taking the easy route by asking.

I haven't bought one yet, but you can buy one from any Home Depot for anywhere around $20, depending on the size!

I bought my tarp at Wal-Mart for less than $10. I do not remember what size I bought.

JennyC - I am in for a shoot and clean! I was up at Larch Mountain today testing out my newly acquired .308...

Up at the actual 'range' or out in the woods?

I bought some German laundry bags for $2 each from Maine Military Supply. I keep a few in my truck, pick up trash at my shooting spots, and leave the spots cleaner than when I arrived.

If it has not been mentioned yet, home depot sells a magnet on a stick for real cheap. These work great for picking up steel cases that can be put in your recycling bin.

Brass isn't magnetic, so will be impossible to pick up most cases unless they are brass plated and not solid brass cases.

Notice I said "STEEL CASES" which is what everyone seems to be spraying out of their assualt rifles these days. Please go ahead and leave you brass because if you don't pick it up, someone that loads (like me) will be along to get it real soon. I pickup all brass, clean it, sort it, keep what I use and sell the rest.

Scored 10# of 9mm last weekend because someone decided not to police their trash. So yeah, leave your brass. You people are helping me convince my wife I need to purchase reloading equipment.
