I shoot with a number of Auto users who manage to pick up their empties and put them in the bucket.///////////////////////////////// I can't think of a single sporting shoot where routinely stopping the flow to go and collect ejected shells from an auto would be anything other than a nuisance. This business of catching shells and binning them is fine and makes good sense but it is a relatively modern phenomenon, we all used to let them fly back in the day and nobody slipped or made a fuss, it took mere minutes to collect 99% of empties at the end of each day. Personally I swipe mine into the bin (frequently complimented on my super/wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-cool.gifcoolness) but unless you have two bins present at each stand as per Wylye, it can upset your rhythm if it's on the wrong side.
