Help Support Clay, Trap, Skeet Shooting Forum:
Actually thinking about the problem of plaswads more deeply I say ban sporting !! :lol: I shoot a format, trap, where every bit of the componentry of the cartridge except the bang and the smoke can be reclaimed and recycled quite simply and not simply left lying around the sacred countryside slowly bringing the end of the world as we know it to a horrible reality and not just s great song ! In short if you hedge monkeys won't clean up when your done ban sporting :lol:

Considering the state of everything I'd suggest that's a prize winning estimate on the optimism scale
and it is truly unfortunate that Schmokinn can't handle the truth and has to resort to such a display :angel:
Charlie,
I don't think schmokin realises how offensive that gesture is taken in the US of A.
Sadly I think that people on this forum (clayshooters) do not realise the impact that plastic has on the World .
The article in Shooting Times this week is indeed very scary .
It is estimated that by 2050 there will be a greater weight of plastic in the Worlds Oceans than there will be weight of fish.
Plastic wads ( steel shot variety ) have been found inside fish .
Because a translucent wad floating on the waters surface can easily be mistaken for squid .

"I don't think schmokin realises how offensive that gesture is taken in the US of A." on the contrary i think it translates to f*** you in nearly every country that uses the English language!
"and it is truly unfortunate that Schmokinn can't handle the truth and has to resort to such a display :angel: " You trappies can kiss my hairy ass!
Cowards ,shooting those poor defenceless targets in the back as they try to escape!!
Your only redeeming features are your impeccable taste in shirts and you shoot a Perazzi! :lol:
As the chart shows a near universal gesture!

I assure you that simple gestures, pictorial or otherwise, are unlikely to offend me. Even it they were intended for me which I assumed they were not.
The solution to all the problems of the world ecologically are really very simple. They merely require a moral and ethical wherewithal that is politically non-existent. I refer you to Soylent Green for a likely oceanic outcome.
and in the interim - -
I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed wiper of other people's bottoms. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

MrPP, unlike your plug for The Times, I have purchased a copy of The Shooting Times to read the article & letter to which you refer, I was left with the impression from the article by a Mike Short was railing against all plastic full stop and there being a byline about possible plaswad on the foreshore, am sure wildfowlers are all feltwads already?
The article states globally 311,000,000 tonnes of plastic was manufactured in 2014, and a claim of 30% recycling in Europe (out of 26,000,000 tonnes) if and loose I grant, that recycle % is taken to the yearly production that leaves approx 200,000,000 tonnes of plastic product per year that potentially is sent to landfill / dumped, plastic products have a shelf / usage life so not now, not tomorrow one day the product will be “scrapped”
Of the 200,000,000 ( yes loose I grant) tonnes what % is plaswad one wonders? As a previous post there are so many other pollution / waste issues that could / can / should be addressed that would have far greater positive impact to the planet.
Oh and as one that does spend hours with his trusty ( yeah right ) hound in fields & woods the one shooting related annoyance is spent cartridge cases, no doubt the upstanding rough / game shot is using feltwad only to then eject the empty cases for mother nature to take care of.
Its not products, its people that need to change

Tab A / Slot B
Of all possible solutions the simplest, most effective, and as cost free as is
If people weren't pigs the world would not be a sty. Every time I see a thread like this one I think of Huxley's "rightly is they called pigs", and even tho he wasn't writing about people how apt it is.

I have no great preference either way when it comes to fibre or plastic for clays. I use whichever is allowed. Sticking to plastic on cost basis only.
As far as game loads go I much prefer plastic. I wish I didnt but I can't ignore my own evidence that the % of wounded birds falls when using them. RC Sipe in plas my personal choice. I treat them as my guilty pleasure! Of course I allways use fibre when required.
I shoot 30+ days a season and it amuses me to be told fibre only whilst standing in a farm yard with baler twine lying in the ditches and bale wrap hanging off every barbed wire fence!

AND their containers all over the Town, Countryside and Seaside !
I would settle just for NOT being 's**t upon' . Cartridge Manufacturers take note !
I would go for other then plastic when its works as well and is cost effective. I buy wads 10 k at a time, I guess I could store 150 K in my garage if needed. I buy lead in 25 pound increments and 12 to 15 pounds of powder at a time. I hope everything we shoot is recycled and reused many times.
