MJN Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hi All,can you tell me are clays bio degradeable,& if so in what time span do they start to break down?Thanks it's all in the name, they are made of CLAY, with a shellac coating, so are a natural product. if if you miss one when shooting and does.nt break when hitting the ground, it will stay looking like a clay pigeon for a long time, if touched with plough, footfall, etc. it will break into smaller pieces of CLAY !

jpbud1 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I personally thought they were,but a friend gave similiar answer as above.Iwant to buy a trap and use on a farm where i have permission,the land owner sometimes puts the cattle in the field,i just wanted to be able to tell him if & when they would break up,as spent cartridges can be picked up alot easier than busted clays!

racingfrank7 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 The clays will be fine we do the same as your thinking. Just make sure you use fiber wads. Plastic wads can get stuck in cattle if they eat them and they do sometimes !! Then your farmer friend wont be very happy when he / she has a big vets bill !!!
