I made this simple brass range catcher for around $50. It works great from the range bench or standing off-hand for your pistols.

I bought the supplies at China-Mart. The camera stand is lightweight aluminum and it has adjustable legs up to 57". It comes with a small nylon carrying case that is 2' so it's easy to store and transport. I used a pool leaf skimmer, and added a laundry bag with wire tires, and I added some pipe insulation to make it more durable during storage and transportation. The brass catcher can easily be removed from the tri-pod by a quick release on the camera stand to dump the brass.

I have field tested my catcher with a 45, 9mm, and 22lr and it worked nicely. The catcher holds a lot of brass before you need to dumb casings. You can adjust the pistol brass range catcher to any angle with the adjustment knobs.

No more chasing, looking, or sweeping my brass at the range.

Interesting! I'd probably want one with a bigger "catch hole" so it gets more of my brass! Hmm,, maybe two tripods,, and a much larger netting to use at an outdoor range,,,!

Real similar to one I made a couple of years ago.Works good of the bench for rifles or pistols.I used a large fish net and small frame I welded up.I like your idea on the tri pod.

Nice idea, I think I'd need about 4 of them, or one really large one. The Walther goes Right and back, the LCP goes almost straight up, the .45ACP goes everywhere, the MKIII goes right and forward.

Of course the Security Six would be easy, I could just remove the brass and throw it at the net!
