Homemade Ghetto Brass Catcher

Well not quite ghetto but partially.

Cost about $45 in parts. See if you can guess what I used.

Well the tripod can be used for other stuff.

The ones online are like $95 so this is like half off.

I think I could get the components cheaper by cutting a few corners.

Remember this can be put on a tabletop or standing when using a rifle offhand.

Fish net.
I use a cardboard box to deflect them down to my feet.

Probably cheaper than my method. I have a 15 year old that loves to shoot. I reload the ammo and he picks up the brass when we are done. Ever feed a 15 year old boy though?

I used a mesh laundry bag as I couldn't find any fishnet small enough to catch 9mm.

A fish net? I thought at first it was a butterfly net. Shows you how often I go fishing.

(Yeah: never)

Can't you just put a large tarp on the ground next to you and then gather up all the corners to make a bag-o-brass when you leave?
