TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Well then, we just have to hope that somebody will want to take on a shooting ground that has just been vacated at the crunch point due to a change in the terms. NOT VERY LIKELY, is it? I am very happy to be proved wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamch Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Lets see what happens across te board when lead is banned and steel/eco wads are the only shells available at hugely inflated prices. Small informal clubs will be decimated never mind full blown grounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As shooters we will all be in the same boat and no doubt grounds and targets will be adjusted to steel cartridges. However , when anything changes it is always a convenient excuse to increase margins. If manufactures want to be greedy, then as they say, they could be killing the goose that lays the golden egg.

As long as its with steel, nobody will care ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted January 21 Author Report Share Posted January 21 Kegworth ran its first Fiber Wad shoot of the year today, Cpsa is showing only 32 entries. Typically 100 would be seen. This is very bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agriv8 Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 I shoot fibre but prefer plastic as can shoot 8 instead of 7.5,s ( more pellets). And not be concerned about running out of range on a sporting layout. if plastic is not allowed just switch to fiber and adjust my shooting.
