Have been to a few, usually a good day with a sporting auction as well. Sadly now too far away for me -

This thread was quite reasonable to start with but is now being taken over by the usual suspects with negativity, criticism and old old news. Our sport is up against the wall and we should be uniting and no constantly sniping. The fowling community has used non tox/steel shot for years without any real issues. Maybe the change to steel etc. will be the end of stupid high bird shoots and that will be a good thing. A pal of mine recently shot at a well known Northumberland high bird shoot where the bag was 306 birds for just under 3000 36 or 40g loads. God knows how many birds would be pricked and not picked Not sporting or ethically or morally justifiable. -
Vote for socialist scum and this is what you get.

Lead weight under 1oz are banned for fresh water fishing, no lead split shot but they do now tungsten based split and tungsten based putty. Given we have a huge tungsten deposit in Cornwall tis a shame it cant be exploited. -
Why waste money jailing them?

Are these all lead?

More fool the dealers who took and sold lead shot ducks. No excuse for this and they will be the source of their own demise. -
Great guns, had the 2.75 inch version for a few years til i shot it loose with too many heavy fowling shells in it. Only downside was the manual safe

Had a look at one at Malmo Guns a while back but you need long arms to cycle the action.
