Systems for Keeping Brass from Falling Off Bench?

[Lkwebb]

I've seen some shooters with metal or plastic things c-clamped to a bench. I know they use it to keep their brass from landing on the ground.

Hints on where I could find one.
Or could I just use a piece of aluminum flashing and bend it .
Thanks in advance

I’ve seen shooters use a big towel, wadded up a bit to be more of a cushion.

They come in different sizes. I use them on my reloading bench as well.

No it's something like this that's clamped onto the bench

Larry, what I have is just a piece of plexiglass heated and bent at an angle at the base. Home Depot or Hobby Lobby should have something that will work.

At our range, we shoot off of horseshoe or U shaped benches, and brass can hit the ground without something to deflect it down onto the bench.

This ^^^ works great and you can adjust it forward and back.
Just buy the claps with a lot of travel. That way guide rod is high enough
to flip a towel over it and catch some high flyers.
Cheap and easy.

g for the brass catcher divices, not a clamp.

Caldwell's brass catcher mounts to a Pic base and adjustable.

KISS- A simple towel rolled up will work as well as anything and it's multi-functional.

I have found the problem with clamping things to the bench top is you encounter many types of bench top construction which you must accommodate for varying thickness- I shoot Hunter Class which requires clamping a spotting scope to the top. A real PITA when you have multiple relays and have to remove then re-attach between matches.

BR ppl use long wood clamps with a towel spread across the end sticking up.
AR shooters have nets.
Google brass catchers

The really fluffy bathroom floor mat works great. Cut it out for the rear bag. The cases wont bounce off the long shag. If the ejector is throwing the case off the bench shorten the spring or the plunger.

cat/dog carrier bed in whatever size suits you. $10-$15 and if it doesn't work out wash it and your pet will love it. lol


or for those that need a calming pink in their life (don't really think that works, but hey whatever floats a person's boat)

Brett, are you sure that cost enough to be effective. There must be a $500 "brass to ground interrupter" out there built for the BR shooter!

Bolt guns only here, my brass never touches the ground.
I know, I'm no help whatsoever.

All my AR/M16 fun ended in Vietnam, zero interest since.
