I have caught myself watching for where the brass flew before I was sure of my shot... that is very aggravating.I spend time looking for brass if I am not at a nice clean spot. The time depends on what I have left to do for the day, what the temps are like and what mood I am in. I even spend time looking for steel cases that I have just shot. I put them into decanters like the fancy people do for kitchen pretties with beans and such. Makes a nice little decoration.... well, sort of.
