Scandinavia have restricians on the use of steel shot in forestry and plantations, Denmark is very restrictive to hunters,Netherlands is practically totally steel shot use for clays and game, cosequentially the Dutch now travel abroad for their sport.The UK is total non-tox for waterfowl but poorly policed, therefor many still use lead for EFFECTIVE kills.WHO are these scientists who brought this legislation in? where are they now? moved on I suppose now they've screwed our sport.
There are NO suitable economical alternatives to lead.Dead waterfowl don't complain about lead shot, but winged and maimed birds as a consequence of steel sure are a dreadful sight to see flapping.USE LEAD.
