You obviously have never been to a trap range before. If you had you would realize how stupid your comments sound. There is no more lead exposure risk shooting at a trap range than riding in aTesla. But you don’t care because one fits your narrative and the other doesn’t.

And this is probably wrong, because people weren't drinking gasoline, right? It has to be swallowed to have a negative effect? Exposure to ...

But banning lead shot? It's a proposal that indicates severe ignorance about what the actual problem is. Mr Strawser, what is the MNGOC's position on this bill? Here is some interesting info. Non-lead primers are a thing too. Is this proposed law also requiring non-lead primers along with the steel...

Steel target loads are currently about 2.5 -3 times the cost. IF the state made the HS league switch demand would quickly outstrip supply. You would be lucky to find it at that price point if you could get it at all.

Hunting wise there are bismuth shot, tungsten/iron, tungsten polymer matrix, tungsten, copper, tin, and bronze all which have passed USFWS muster. Lead then steel at commercial rates, although steel at bulk can be cheaper than lead; then bismuth; then copper (although I haven’t seen copper shot in ...

At a price point that is at all viable.

If they really cared about children you would think that they would first ban backyard pools. Or I dunno, maybe fund gun safety in schools? What's to be funded? Open up a classroom, and step back as a thousand certified volunteer instructors take over... I stand corrected, I should have said allowed.

Cost is only one factor. Availability of ammo and the distribution that this would cause would kill this as a high school sport, but then again, those pushing for this know that already.

Why not use steel shot? As long as everyone is using the same rounds, it's still a fair competition. Doctors are pretty unanimous on the science showing no amount of lead is safe for children. It's funny that they mention the cost of changing to use alternative shells, but they don't mention the co...

I see that others have posted about VPNs getting them a Banned notice. I purchased a VPN service and I am getting the same thing, is there a resolution for this or just bounce out of the VPN to connect to this site? Hmm... I got the same thing from hotel wifi when I was in Colombia, recently. I had...

At OGC for the monthly NRL22 match the match director even mentions this practice of trap shooters and notes that it will result in a DQ from the match.

Who would rest a .22 on their toe?

That makes sense, shotgun guys are always resting their gun barrels on their toes :D Know a guy that used to rest his shotgun on the toe of his boot. He had an extra leather pad with a ring around it so the barrel wouldn't slip off his boot. He will remain nameless, but he used to coach a successfu...
