I use the bag on the side of my AR and if I shot my pistols or 10/22's sitting down I staple a piece of cardboard to side of the table to deflect the brass and if I stand up and shoot I just look where the brass is going on the first couple shoots and move up or back to keep it of my neighbor

thats a good find.. i bet its much better than mesh. mesh type always get stove pipes..

I use the mesh bag on my ar and it works ok for about 20-30 rounds anymore and I start to get jams and misfeeds. If I keep the bag empty it works well.

I also mark my reloads with a pinkish color paint that a femail friend gave me on and around the primers.

I'm headed out to the grove today to test fire my new AK-74, and a few others that I've made recent mods or repairs to. As a working stiff, I've never had a chance to make it out there during the week. So I was dissapointed to see that the range doesn't open till 1:00 during the week.

Here's the question. I was thinking about taking a staple gun and picking up a roll of orange webbing. If I got there at 12:00, do you think I could: #1 get in/on the range to replace the webbing on the target stands? #2 Would I get in trouble if I got caught on the range before 1:00? (Of course I would leave my firearms cased and unloaded untill 1:00)

Any thoughts? Anyone interested in meeting me down there and lending a hand:


Edited: Oops I misread 1:00 is only on Monday. I'm off to the grove

I was actually surprised when I got to the grove yesterday. Most of the target stands had pretty good webing on them already. Must have been replaced recently. I did replace the webing on 2 of them that had been pretty well blasted away by shotguns.

As for my newly assembled AK. It ran like a top. 6 - 30 round mags (180 rounds), with no jams, no misfeeds, not even a single stove pipe. I'm a happy camper. Now I need a new project.

my sig p556 will toss brass across 6 tables so I maybe I will practice angling the rifle to down the left and dropping brass on the last table's shooter..

Amateurs! My CETME throws brass so hard it sticks the empties into wood partitions! I think a couple of them achieved low Earth orbit at my last 3-Gun match!

They replace the target stands on Mondays I believe.

They have too after the vast numbers of "experts" on the range on weekends.

The wife and I went to the skeet range this afternoon so shoot a box and 1/2 of 12 ga. when we got there a guy was waiting for his frined to get there and he let us shoot for a while. it all worked out and I think we all had a good time.
One of the younr guys corrected me on my shooting saying "sir you are shooting low" He was right I was shooting low but the sir part got me.
