I doubt I'm the only shooter out there who has spinal troubles that prevent the constant bending over needed to recover spent brass from a semi-auto. Now I have an AR pistol, and plan to reload at some point. Also hope to own and load for a .300 Blackout. I've considered using my home extension grabbers with the rubber cup tips, except that one---case---at---a---time is very inefficient and time consuming.And sweeping always has led to gathering dirt, .22 rimfire cases, and leaves.
Over the years, I've seen drawing and old photos of catch bags fitted to 1911's, military guns on aircraft, and machine guns. Has anyone found a good catch bag accessory that lets us range bench shooters capture the majority of their brass with their AR's? I'm a leather crafter and my beloved Miss Penny is a remarkable seamstress. I've thought a few times of trying a few home crafted ideas for a catch bag, but don't know if I'd be working to reinvent the wheel. A soft catch bag would also help prevent bending at the case mouth too as sometimes happens when one hits the concrete floor.
Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.
