Brass catcher?

Cherokee

Medina, Ohio
This is something I made years ago out of scrap wood and 1/4" hardware cloth. 22" tall, 16" wide, 8" deep. It sets on the bench. The extended base allows me to have a built in rest if I want to use it. Might need to adjust for shooting height for your application.

go down to the pet store.
get you one of those little nets they catch the fish in for you to take home.
bend the wire so the handle lays flat on your wrist/forearm, but bends out and away then back parallel again
so the net part is right over the ejector.
then just duct tape it to your forearm when you get there.

So, welding a shackle to the forearm is probably out of the question?

Velcro could be a viable option.

As for welding, I don’t know anyone talented enough to weld steel to flesh.

My wife would prefer that you didn’t. Bet Fiver’s daughter would agree.

My sister’s middle name is Dawn with a capital D. I’m sure that she shares you wife’s sentiment.

My Barber, cute as a button. Five feet nothing. Loong dark hair.
Jaquey, My Wife and she talk while I just sit to have the old bean shaved and my beard trimmed.
I just space out and think about My old Surfing days.

I have bought two.... The hot brass melts and the cases stick many times leaving a sticky mess stuck to the cases.

I also use(ed) that blue tarp when Im shooting out in a sand pit or make shift gun range. Then a "reacher/grasper". These things should be handeD out by PCP @ 50 years!!! No bending!! Hahaha but its once piece at a time. I keep a folding version in my range bag!

Bicycle flag rod cut in half, cotton (old bed sheet?) with 'sleeves' in the ends. Some kind of C clamp for attachment. Height depends on pistol. Range here has screens between stations, to prevent hitting others. Still get on hands and knees to pick up mine. I could learn to shoot gangsta style so the screen catches them?

Cowboy Shooters started using the "can grabbers" 20 something years ago.
The "Nut Harvesters" about 10yrs ago. Those are great, just roll it of the ground and it picks up down to .380 brass with ease.

I ordered a new one for the rifles tonite. The old velcro strap on was not doing it very well. New one attaches to the pic rail
