We don't care but the RSO did. He put something up so it won't go flying. The guy next to us was shooting .22 but he only swept up after like 100 rounds which was causing a slip hazard. Having a net was very convienent.

What us wrong with you inconsiderate shooters?

You're suppose to clip the wings before you load them in your mag.

I guess one could always attempt to setup a hokey goal net as a brass catcher.  :D

it's mostly the guys with 22lr that have the flying hot brass....

308 brass that's a different story...

I would be happy if all flies over my head and goes into the net.  Free brass.

I never shot my old SKS without wearing a hat because of flying brass steel casings.

What do you all think about slinging brass?  What an inconsiderate a**hole.........or it's a shooting range what do you expect.  I'm kind of with the it's a shooting range what do you expect.  I get brass to my temple all the time at the handgun side.  I'm with some of the other guys, if it ends up on my table than that's free brass for me.   :thumbsup:

Both to a certain degree. If it's flying out hard like in the video, you should take some consideration for your neighbors. Getting hit by brass is not a big deal to me but when you or your nice firearm are getting hit constantly it gets pretty annoying. I really don't want my $2,000 scope to get scratched.  :grrr: That was the main reason why I use a net. My Steyr Aug shoots out pretty hard and far and if you get hit it does sting a little. I got cut on the lip when I was filming my wife.

As for .22s, those are hot when it hits you but generally not a big deal. Just clean up more regularly as if you would reload them. Don't just let it pile up cause you know nobody is going to steal them. The guy next to us left about a 100 rounds before cleaning up. All over our table, bags, under our table, etc.

Had an opportunity to shoot at an indoor range the other day with nobody else around.  The brass had just been cleaned up and the firing point floors were clean.  Found the shells from my new wonder nine (Kahr CW9) ended up as many as three lanes away. The firing points have barriers between them.  I collected 47 out of 50 rd when I was done from all over the floor.  I guess the lost 3 rd went in front of the firing points.

I wonder if that's a problem for other shooters when they're there and if I should do something about it.  So far, no complaints about it, though.
