How do you retrieve pistol brass at the range?

+1 For Picking it Up

Absoluteley. Bend over and pick it up.

There are other guys at my range that do the same. My ONLY gripe is that one old fart always brings a bag and never shoots - he just gathers brass. I've seen him downrange often when guys are waiting for him to get out of the lane:fire: so they may commence fire.

Worse, while you're trying to shoot, he'll rummage in the trash barrel right beside you. :cuss: like a raccoon in a garbage can. That's as rude as shooting pics of some guy while he's trying to tee off his golfball.:banghead:

Someday someone might plug him by mistake.

Anyway, I pick up my own brass and anything else that's lying about, but only when I'm the only one in a lane and somebody who collects his brass isn't trying to shoot while I go dumpster diving. If I pick up brass on a firing station, I use a broom and dustpan, so the other crud like .22 casings and cigarette butts are cleaned up.

Some commercial ranges claim any brass on the floor as their own. Others are happy to get the stuff off the floor to keep it clean. Ask whomever is running your range what their policy is. If they want it, they'll tell you so.
