My Dad goes shooting almost every nice day he can. He shoots at several private ranges. He is 74 years old. He has been gathering shell casings for a long time. Last week he sold $1500.00 in brass. I was blown away. He said that everyone at the ranges knows he collects the casings now and kicks them into a pile for him. 2 of the ranges have buckets set out for him now also. He stared doing it just to reload shells for himself, but now just gathers all of the brass he can find. He is retired and it certainly helps support his shooting hobby. Another thing he likes is that he says it keeps him flexible by bending down and gathering the casing. I know he can sell them in his area around Moline, IL.
