I've spent a number of hours recently visiting with some learned folks in the fields of shotshells.

Maybe you'll find this interesting.

Great information. My father still has some of the paper shells. I have not nor will I try to shoot them but it would be nice to see a shell that would degrade naturally since so many are left on the ground.

Thank you. I have several boxes of old paper shells and gave some friends several boxes before we left Southern Illinois for South Carolina. Some in the boxes have real value to collectors by the way.

Paper hulls and old wads do degrade and the wads present much less danger to wildlife as well.

Thanks,

I've been reflecting on my recent meeting and one conversation that I had with a fellow who has participated several times the Sporting Clays World Championship. For those of you who follow that sport, the name George Digweed will be a familiar one.

He's a bear of a man who is recognized by many as the premier sporting clays shooter in the world. You may have seen him shoot, either in person or on some video but one thing that is readily apparent is his economy of motion.

When I asked the fellow I was speaking with about that, he was certain that a part of his great success was that economy. He wastes no energy, physical or mental on needless movement or set-up on targets.

That was kind of a theme at this meeting. The simplest way to accomplish a task may be the best way. At times we make many things in the shooting sports too complicated. When they work perfectly, they may produce excellent results but it's difficult to make them work perfectly every time.

It really causes you to think about how we approach the shooting sports, the "tools" that we use and what may be ahead for us in the not too distant future, if the things that were discussed this meeting become more commonplace.

I'll let you know as much as I can and as soon as I can.

Thanks,
Clark

So, here's part 2 of the 3 part series. This article defines the terms and sets the stage for further discussion.

I hope you'll find it interesting.
