figgy Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Supposed ricochet of steel shot, it's why it's banned a nearly every ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Sporting Targets in Bedfordshire, the well known best Clay Shooting Ground in the Country, also well known for hosting the good old Pigeon Watch Charity shoots will allow you to use steel shot on the ground, but do not normally sell it in the shop!

If it is the supposed risk of ricochet, it must be an extremely low probability, topped off with the fact that everyone should be wearing eye protection! I do know that Sporting Targets (the BEST ground in the country) do stipulate that steel cartridges must not be used on their pattern plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
