thank you for you insight bremic
presumembly you include the parts of europe going back in your insult.
can you explain to me why gunclubs are dead against steel??

Of course they'll pass through, you don't have a gizzard designed to grind them up like a duck has!

You've only got to go and see the layout of a skeet field and the angles you shoot on(Particularly on stations 1, 7 and 8) to see ricochet towards people on other fields or spectators is the concern.

cant see it on one mike isnt that where you start by the 1st house.
yes if shoot gunclubs with multiple fields i guess its possible of the houses .
but some clubs in america seemed to have solved the problem as have others

Please note, MCTC only permits the use of Steel Shot on the grounds as of 1st March 2013. Lead is not permitted.
We usually hold a BBQ after shooting has ceased so even if you’re not directly involved in the shooting turn up, have a sausage & drink and enjoy the company.
By law, all shooters must:
-
have a 0.00 blood alcohol level to operate a firearm, and
-
not be under the influence of prohibited drugs, and
-
not be under the influence of prescription drugs for psychological purposes, and
-
be of sound mind and body (manageable physical disabilities are acceptable), and
-
not have a criminal record related to violence or firearm offences, and
-
not suffer from a medical condition, such as epilepsy or acute hypotension, which may lead to a temporary loss of consciousness and / or control.

shit a lot of duckshooters would be excluded then

Highland Deephaven Clay Pigeon Club
The club is now, by law, required to use steel shot as the shot falls over wetlands. This means all practices and competitions will be alternative shot only and anybody found using lead shot will be stopped shooting, warned and disqualified from competition.

guess where theres a will there,s a way mike

Its plain to see, everybodies situation is different. Ive shot for years over a pond with mainly decoying birds and had good results, than I changed to steel when we were required, My bag decreased rapidly and the time spent recovering wounded birds increased. ( Using a dog ) I almost gave it away in dispair. I hate wounding game, ( By the way Im an AA grade sporting clays shooter ) 2 years ago I converted to using a 28g O/U using lead, My harvest went back to pre steel numbers, with almost no wounded birds. I no longer shoot over that pond. Now I jump shoot with the 28g over drains and puddles in paddocks and enjoy the season . Just come back UK , where once again lead is allowed for wild fowling except in designated reserve areas . Mainly breeding areas for native / endangered species . A study in the UK concluded that steel shot , when it rusted away in waterways released heavy metals like nickle and cadmium, and these presented a greater danger to the waterways than the inert lead, which often occurs naturally in greater quantities than in areas shot over by hunters . "FOOD FOR THOUGHT "


That doesn't mean much. It simply means you shoot over 80% on claybirds at club organized shots. The true AA guys shoot over 95% at national events. I know some of them and they use steel without any issues.][/QUOTE]
not at the gun club tho
aint it funny how you can pick and choose when its suits.
a choice you decry for others
