Well i have seen choke damage due to steel shot, including one where a pellet manage to wedge itself between the barrel thread and choke thread, resulting in a pip on the outside of the barrel and a choke that will never come out. Yes potentially caused by the choke not being full seated, so...

But where do their replacements come from, once the current olympic competitions retire? and 1.25 million 28gm cartridges is still a lot of lead 35 tonne,

but apparently if the lead shot leaves an olympic competitor gun it is non toxic, landing on likely the same ground the rest of of us must use non toxic shot on. All getting very silly.

Steel shot also has a pressure peak going through the choke as it does not yield like lead. Hence the limitations on choke restriction for steel shot.

I would think skeet will be ok, nothing for the shot to rebound from other than possibly the clay itself. English sporting and FITAS shot within woods may be an issue, as with practical shotgun where they shoot at steel plates, others may know more.

However you pay for the fishing licence annually and not in one big hit sufficient to put anybody of from taking up the sport. Juniors may struggle to ask mum or dad to pay around £500 to get a certificate. The GPs will I bet think we can charge more. Then if you read the labour pre election...

partly agree as my medical GP report cost more than renewing my licences. However will £400 or £500 turn away prospective new comers to the sport. As add what £100 for GP reports and it starts to look painful. Plus as often said are we rewarding the inefficient forces.

And now full cost recovery for licence fees https://uk.news.yahoo.com/rural-communities-facing-steep-gun-153012980.html?guccounter=1

It’s not an attempt to ban shooting by the back door, rather it’s an attempt by shooting organisations, especially one of them to ensure commercial game shooting has a future and for that they need to be certain it has a market and the market is demanding it is lead free. And the only way to be...

certainly a long way to go, with 1,500 different products, just two are listed as eco wads and non toxic shot and just one of them in stock at £429.00 per 1000

to certain point I agree but shot over a clay ground is a very small area the Club I am a member of has been shooting lead shot for fifty years, has an airgun area and rifle range both of which will continue to be allowed to shoot lead. Then we have buzzards, pigeons. crows, woodpeckers...

Not sure all would agree that it is well written. Illogical to allow olympic athletes to continue with lead shot and not CPSA affiliated, registered clay grounds which operate over a very small area of land so the risks to the environment are very small and nobody eats clay pigeons. Rather...

Lead shot total ban, likely timescale five years. https://www.hse.gov.uk/reach/restrictions/rr-aavi-0821.pdf

Lets us know how it works for you, I ended up with the type I got as tried a few other “cheap” ones and found using a standard usb power pack that after random periods of use the vest would turn itself off. Tried a few power packs with same result. No such issue with the type I finished up with...

sets a very bad example we need to be encouraging young people into the sport. If not resolved I would at the very least be emailing the CPSA requesting they take appropriate action.

Just checked, the heating zone is lower than the shoulder, this is the one I purchased and have been very pleased with it, excellent quality and keeps the cold away. I liked it so much I brought a second one as a spare. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C9D8MZMP?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

i do, not had a problem doing so.

careful what you wish for the section 1 / 2 split has benefits, especially for section 2 if the Police had their way all guns would be section 1. With each gun being justified, just think how many shotguns that would remove from owners.

Name and shame them?

Fiocchi are struggling to keep up with the demand and do not always have available all of their products, for example we have been waiting for litespeeds for about three weeks, but are expecting a delivery next week, like I expect many other retailers. http://www.feskent.co.uk/carts.htm
