A38337 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 FYI There was a review on this in Front Sight about a year ago. IIRC, it's a very large fine-mesh net that you lay on the ground. When it's time to pick up brass, you simply lift up a corner of the net so all the brass falls to the center. It has weights on the edges to prevent the wind from blowing it away. The mesh will not capture rocks, dirt, and other small debris. The reviewer thought it was a very useful item. I wanted one. However, the referenced website wasn't up. About a year later, it still wasn't up. With the help of MGM targets, I contacted them. This is a husband and and wife gunshop that are doing this as a side venture. The web site will not be developed, you have to contact them at the gunstore.

jhgtyre Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Yeah, I am thinking you could save a lot by just sewing some sand into a fold you make on the corner of a tarp. This shouldn't be more than a $10 project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatland Shooter Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I had an old minnow net that was about 6' x 18' with lead weights along one side and floats along the other. I cut it in half, cut off the floats and used the string that held on the floats to tie each half of the net together. Finished size about 12' x 9'. Been using it this way for years.

mscott Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 This is better than a big blue tarp? Netting is a better because wind blows a tarp around and also brass doesn't roll when it lands on netting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netting is a better because wind blows a tarp around and also brass doesn't roll when it lands on netting. And in my case it was cheap. The netting was headed to the trash can when I came up with the thought of using it as a brass catcher. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
