If you enjoy shooting at the end of a fun day at the range, you’ll be left with a smile on your face and a lot spent brass on the ground. Unless you’re shooting at some full-service indoor range, chances are you’re responsible for “policing” your brass; you need to pick up a broom and a dustbin and clean up after yourself.
Ammo-Up is a company that makes a very clever and effective tool that picks up almost all types of spent shell and collects them in easy to dump bins. This device is vaguely shaped like a push lawnmower. It has a roller with long polymer fingerlike bristles which grab the shells from the ground and a teeth above the brass bin combs the shells out of the bristles into its catch bin.
Cleaning up is as easy as rolling over the brass and Bobs-your-uncle, the brass it gone. The picker works on carpet, concrete, and even sand. But it doesn’t work on gravel (which get lodged in the bristles along with shells) nor does it work on .22 or smaller rimfire (the shells are too small).
We have a large sized unit at the Coyote Point Range that the Sheriff’s use for their 9mm and 5.56mm shells but us poor rimfire shooters have to contend with old school brooms and dustbins. I stopped by the Ammo-Up booth to see if they had come up with a solution or option for .22LR but alas, no.
Their units are sold online and are available on Amazon. https://amzn.to/3L0Zcpt
