You guys are going about it all wrong. Just think of brass picking as part of your workout regimen.
With knees locked, bend and pick up a piece of brass. Return to a full upright position and repeat as often as necessary until all brass pieces have been picked up. Before you know it, you will be limber enough to bend over and hold both hands flat against the ground.
Just don't stay in that position too long.
Happy Trails!

I have toyed with the idea modifying the ejector on Glocks so that the brass just sorta dribbles out beside me right where I stand and not flung 10' to my 5:00 into the woods and grass.
I posted about it another forum and a guy there actually executed on it and said that it does work - making it more stubby and giving a slight bend "this way". You wouldn't want to do weird drills with it and what not but it should be easy to do AND it is a very cheap part that is easy to replace/remove on Glocks.
I should sell 'em!
You seriously should. Great idea. This sounds like a really bad idea for a self-defense weapon. I'm not surprised Hawkeye is enthused.

That's funny because that's the way I look at it as part of the old man exercise regimen.

I give my daughter a metal detector, and a bounty. I like this idea. My son is always up for some metal detecting. Bet he'd do it for free.

Where I shoot my pistols, bending over is not the problem - seeing them in the weeds to know WHERE to bend over is the problem.

Mike Bingo. This is why I shoot bolts and levers and revolvers more than my semis. With the semis I tend to spend a fair amount of time policing brass but consider it part of the game. Went to an IPSC (?) safety class a few years back. Everyone was shooting factory ammo and nobody was picking it up. Went home with a couple big bags of .45ACP. At the rifle ranges I'm happy to police what others leave behind if it's from factory ammo. In addition to standard brass, I've got a bunch of nickel-plated cases that way, including .375H&H. Couldn't leave that behind and I don't even own a .375 H&H.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Many indoor ranges mount a piece of soft material on the right wall of the shooting stall that redirects the brass out of your reach forward of the firing line. It's an easy means for them to steal your brass for their profit. boy that is the truth
