Scully Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Does anyone know if ANY of our shooting organisations has mooted the idea of the N. Zealand model to any relevant body, and if so what the response was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Mate has just informed me that prior to our rough shoot last Friday, he grabbed a handful of cartridges from some I gave him donkies years ago. He killed some cracking birds and discovered when putting them back in a box on Saturday that they were all Gamebore Super Steel 3’s! As far as I’m aware these are classed as HP. He was using his Winchester Grand European fixed at 1/4 & 1/2. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas seal Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Different countries have different attitude to shooting/ hunting. Commercial shooting in this country is pay and shoot, you can take anyone with you by law ,they don’t have to have a license for a gun or a license to kill game , just dress up and pay up. We don’t have a fish and game department to police us or license us. When the general licence (law) changed many commented who will police it. When a lead shot ban is mentioned how many said they will stock up with lead. Yes it would be better to have rules and regulations similar to other countries but as said we seem to have a upper class and lower class shooting /hunting country. N Z shooters are licensed we have a general licence and a hunters license . NZ are killing all non native species in the country, could we do that. I’ve no interest in super markets selling or not selling meat containing lead it’s their business and their suppliers. We can still use lead we can also use non lead it’s our choice. Maybe we will be better with a fish and game department all with a license and more say in decision making. The two men shooting crows with steel for the first time who started the topic l think will have a few more shooters giving it a try. The Birmingham proof house is the place to enquire about steel proofing, it is their to protect gun users. How would commercial shoots be licensed, shooters licensed or a commercial licence for the shoot probably both. If we have a fish and game department maybe a gun license will be a right and not a privilege. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted November 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Myself and my mate are both pheasant shooting this weekend on a small shoot we have joined and I'm going to use Eley vip 5s in steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
