The price for bird hunting for me is constant practice. If I can't practice enough (a lot, in my own case) to feel comfortable shooting at birds, I'll quit.
The birds deserve better than that.
There is only so much tungsten in the world, and there isn't enough tungsten in the world to use it for making shot, when it has far more important uses.
Enviroweenies who believe it should replace lead don't understand that.
For every study you can find telling me about birds ingesting lead, I can demonstrate that a lead shot that rolls off an outdoor table onto the ground where a domestic chicken can see it will be picked up by the chicken.
He will then spit it out. Rooster or hen, it makes no difference.
Try it sometime. I'm guessing chickens don't sit near the top of the bird intelligence
heap, but, they are at least that smart.
Best,
Ted
