Did you borrow the magnetic sweeper?

The magnetic sweeper is currently missing from the Bench rest area.

The club purchased this item for use by members to make the pick-up of spent cartridges a bit easier, especially for collecting the steel casings.  The collection bin is already full, so we know a few of the members have been busy putting the magnetic sweeper to use. Thank you for that!

The Club would appreciate the return of the magnetic sweeper to the Bench Rest Rifle area.
