I raised the steel shot issue with the EPIC folks on their facebook page. Here is what I learned:

My Question:

I've been to the last two CLA Game Fairs in England, so I'm really excited to see this coming together. However, is it true that I can't shoot lead on that new sporting clays course you've all built? I shoot traditional side by side shotguns, so that would leave me out of luck and disappointed.

Epic Outdoor Game Fair response:

Foxhall is the largest "green certified" community in Georgia, and the sporting clays course will comply with that standard. It will be a non-toxic shot course, so no lead. This is a very special place with one of the fine...st sporting clays courses in the country, so we hope you'll make an exception this time. We'll have loaner guns available for sporting clays, and in the Fine Gun area, there will be a demo area where lead shot can be used for this event only.

I'm glad Blenheim Palace where the CLA Game Fair is occuring next month isn't quite so special. They're planning to place 300,000 rounds of lead in Sir Winston Churchill's old front yard. The "green" movement to ban lead at sporting clays facilities is one of the greatest threats to the sport today. I hope this fledgling event isn't locked into this anti-lead facility going forward.
