Restrictions on brass pick-up

[Gyrogearhead]

I take my "nut wizard" with me wherever I go shooting.

Since I'm a certified "Geezer" people seem to understand that I don't want to get down on my hands and knees to pick up brass and don't give me a hard time about it. What they don't usually realize is that I can collect three to four times the amount of brass with my nut wizard than most brass vultures can do by hand in the same amount of time. It's much easier than sweeping it up with a broom and I have found that with a little practice one can selectively pick up a single caliber (don't want to pick up brass I don't shoot).

My nut wizard has earned the sub-title of "Don't Leave Home Without It". It's a rare outing that someone doesn't ask me where they could get one just like it.

The range recycles the brass and earns some pretty decent money from doing it. If you primarily shoot in West Houston, you might want to consider Bayou Rifles (http://bayourifles.org/) - BR has a pistol range on Eldridge just north of I-10 and allows you to take home your own brass. I've been a member since January and have found it to be a great club.

Bayou Rifles has barrels where you can leave your brass and I assume they sell it. Or you can take your brass with you. Since its a club rather than a business, you try and leave it neater than you found it. I take my brass back home, but the brass I find that isn't mine goes in the barrel. Its funny how I can find about only 90% of my brass and 10% of someone else's.

Bayou Rifles is usually a very peaceful place to shoot, its out doors and rarely are there more than three shooters at the pistol range. I stopped by the Memorial Shooting Range one time and it was packed with folks. I realized it just wasn't where I wanted to shoot. Not that there was anything wrong. I just like the solitude of me out doors shooting, with no time clock to worry about or listening to ten other people shooting.

I just joined up. Finally was able to make it to an orientation. I'm usually working the first weekend of the month, so the timing wasn't great. I'm really looking forward to shooting there.

I want to see a range try and stop me from picking up my own brass

I'd like to see that too.
