Our club has plexiglass dividers between shooting lanes. The problem with these is that hot brass .22 casings are bouncing off the plexiglass and into unexpected places, if you know what I mean. And they're hot!

Anybody have any ideas on what material is best for dividers to decrease or eliminate bouncing brass?

Thanks.

Wear jock strap and cup?

A loose hanging drape will "soft catch" the brass, then allow it to fall straight down. It mustn't be too stiff and heavy however, or the brass still carom off as it does on the hard surface.

If you are familiar with baseball ... think of how a Jugs Net stops a batted ball with very little movement and then allows it to drop straight down to the ground. (Granted there is more slack with this net, and much more movement but this is stopping a 5oz. projectile travelling over 100MPH. The principal is the same).

We use a roller shade mounted to the ceiling at our club. Something like this:

We also have low ceilings, so that may or may not work depending on where / how you mount them.

6.4.11.8 Firing points must be separated by small transparent screens that protect athletes from ejected cartridge cases and permit visibility of athletes by officials...

Fly screen mesh works well.

We use frames with 1/4" hardware screen in them. They stop the brass and are see thru.

If you don't have dividers, the brass won't bounce off them. If your scorching brass goes down another shooters collar he may drop a few points; good for you. Also, no dividers is free.

Here we use brass catchers or hang a piece of wire mesh on the cover of our gun box.
