Re: Getting out the 204's for 2022
Looks like a good area and you had a good shoot. One question I have however, do you pick/rake up all the brass or leave it ? I know my ranch owners, where we shoot, like us to pick up and remove all the brass we can, instead of leaving it on the ground in their pivot areas.

We always try to pickup as much brass as we can when we're in a field, and always pickup all of our center fire brass.

3500 rounds in that amount of time I would have blisters on my fingers from loading magazines.
Any idea of hit ratio.
Ammo and components as high as they are, I am more hesitant to “throw” one in the general direction.

We tape our thumbs, or wear a tight fitting glove, some mags are worse than others.
<100 yards 90-95%, most of our shooting this time
100-200 yards- 80-85%
>200 yards- wind dependent and how well you find the little buggers in the standing alfalfa.
Hard time putting a price on recreation!!!!!!

a guy could put a cheap tarp on the ground and make pick up a lot quicker....

Interesting....four pictures of spent brass..... I'd think ONE would get the point across.
