the texas city public range would probably enjoy it if everyone picked up their brass. all they do is throw it away. They throw out perfectly good shotgun hulls too.

Tonight, for example, there were two lanes occupied to my right. I asked them if they kept their brass. They replied no. I then asked if they would like me to sweep up their brass for them, and they replied that was fine with them. My brass was intermingled with their's.lkd wrote:On the other hand, I've seen people abuse this by trying to sweep their bay and the 5 other bays near them. That's bad mojo.
Actually, the way that the rules are worded at Memorial Shooting Center and American Shooting Center is that all brass must be left and cannot be taken with you. I can't recall the exact wording and for some reason this rule is not included in the list of rules on their sites, but it is posted at the actual range. This would include brass that had been fired through a revolver. As to whether they would actually try to stop you from dropping your revolver shell casings into your range bag, who knows.sjfcontrol wrote:If you don't like it, shoot a revolver!
Thanks. I will do that. I was going with the sign they have posted on the range. I interpreted this to mean that you weren't supposed to keep any of the brass, but I can't recall the exact wording.rgoldy wrote:I think you should check with ASC on the rule. They have never said anything to me about picking up my own brass from rounds I brought with me. They do not want you picking up "abandoned" brass. Yes, they do collect and recycle brass from the range. The notation about how few shooters pick up is correct, as few as 1-2 out of 10.
Don't take that attitude at the DPS range in Austin when you take the CHL Instructor's proficiency test. If it hits the ground, it's theirs.Skaven wrote:I would be under the impression that your brass is your property. You paid for it, and I would like someone to just try and tell me i can't have my property.
And when they stop allowing me to pick up MY brass, the make less profit because I refuse to spend money there.Crossfire wrote:Gun ranges, especially indoor ranges, are very expensive to build, run, and maintain. They cannot survive on range fees alone.
That is why they sell guns, ammo, targets, memberships, and scrap brass.
They were at a shooting range weren't they?fulano wrote:Were they armed?Jrangel wrote:I've heard that at MSC, two clients started an argument over the brass pickup. So the owner decided to apply the no brass pick up rule.
Just my 2 cents.

I was hoping you were joking but, such an obvious question deserved an obvious answer.fulano wrote:¿Surely you realize I was joking?MoJo wrote:They were at a shooting range weren't they?fulano wrote:Were they armed?Jrangel wrote:I've heard that at MSC, two clients started an argument over the brass pickup.

Just my 2 cents.Although... it could have gotten nasty.....I mean when I pick up my brass my hands get beyound dirty. Do they ever wash the floors of those places??

Get a brass wizard - - - you won't have to get down on the floor or touch the brass till you can clean it.
