What are the rules/practices where you shoot regarding hulls. At some clubs, the rule is that the instant the empty shell hits the ground it is the property of the club. At some clubs recently I've noted signs saying "Please pick up your hulls." Hull picking can certainly slow down a round and I've even seen trap shooters go forward of the line to pick hulls before moving to the next station while the rest of us just stood waiting.
I've seen shooters who were using factory target be asked by shooters or scorers if they would give them their hulls. One pesky trap boy was very aggressive in finding/begging factory hulls and then selling them until club management stepped in. Conversely, some guys tip the trap kids with hulls and encourage them to sell to other shooters.
One shooter I know loads AA shells until they are almost in shreds and can be found face first in the garbage bin at most shoots looking for hulls that meet his standards. When I load AA hulls I use them only 4 or 5 times and now give this guy my used hulls when I'm done with them. He's happy to get them. (I've never understood this guy because he will shoot reclaimed wads, homemade lead of dubious origin and shoots a high-grade Perazzi.)
What's the practice where you shoot?
