A little while ago, I was asked to test out a couple of products from the guys over at CTK Precision. One of them was their newly designed brass catcher. I've used a couple of brass catchers and both of them were homemade designs of my own and while they worked reasonably well, they were very bulky and didn't work as well as I would have liked them to. This one on the other hand is very light weight, easy to setup and works very well. I took it along with me to the range while I was testing another new CTK product, The Ultimate Mono-Pod. I reload all of my varmint and predator hunting ammunition and being the compulsive reloader that I am, I HATE to lose perfectly good brass when I'm firing my semi-autos.
Setup of the catcher takes only a few seconds you simply insert the legs of the netting frame into two protrusions on the frame. The rear portion of the net is held by a small stud on the rear part of the frame. One thing that is very nice about the catcher is that it takes up a fairly small footprint on the shooting bench, as you can see below. Once aligned it performed flawlessly. It sure was better then chasing the brass and it was a lot better then packing the old brass catcher that was so large that it had to sit on the ground. One thing I did find very handy on this catcher is the ability to mount it to a tripod. I used it in this setup while shooting the AR from the sitting position and having it mounted on the tripod made it easy to get the catcher in the path of the ejecting brass.
