djgeoff Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) What did you have to do, or enter, to stand a chance of winning? i filled in a questionnaire in basc mag, asking what shooting i do, how much shooting what carts and why? etc the only trouble is i cant find anyone who stocks them by me , all say they are to expensive, i have already done 30 mile trip to a supplier then when i got there he had none and i rang before i went. i have contacted eley hawk to say thanks but i might as well return the voucher because i cant get the carts anywhere. they said they would email a list of retailers... still not happened. at this rate it will cost me more in travel costs to get them. you think eley would send me some or something. i will be ringing them again in the week bit disappointed Edited August 28, 2013 by djgeoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malantone Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I do Well done on the prize mate does the land owner not mind all the plas wads lying around? they are a helll of a danger to livestock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malantone Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I shoot what ever I can get, plastic no problem on arable! Soon get ploughed in I suppose if there are never any stock on the fields then it wont matter that much, do you know how long plas wads take to break down, it is said that a lot of plastics take decades and what ever ploughs under this year comes back up next year, over the years there are going to be wads on the top all the time. Up here in Cumbria we have a lot of animals and very little permanent arable, so we are encouraged not to shoot plas wads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I prefer fibre, but sometime plastic is all I can get. I know roughly how long it takes, but I could take you for a a walk across land in front of permanent hides that have been shot for years and you would struggle to find a wad, personally I think discarded empty cartridges are far worse!
