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..... :chin: I'd think ONE would get the point across.
