It's a tremendous opportunity for wad development.

I think scintered W (Tungsten) loads, and co-polymer pellets, will take the place of the heavy lead loads on the high bird shoots.

The costs are going to be moved around, but the guns can definitely expect to pay much more.
10-1 days will be much more rare.

And, (I pray this to be true) images of end loaders disposing of birds on large bag days will be things of the past.

Frank Boddy and I have talked about these issues for years.

Personally, I wish someone would produce a pheasant bratwurst, and sell them frozen as a "Save our sport!" Fundraiser, into American gun clubs.

Our market is so big, that instead of paying for disposal, money might actually be made on it.

My club is the beneficiary of a member that owns a preserve, and grinds breasts and thighs into a grillable sausage.
Older gents love them, as they are much leaner than commercial brats.


Out there doing it best I can.
