Had to happen. Don't think I'll ditch the subgauges though.
Guess I wont be shooting ducks anymore then. Stick with upland and the occasional goose or even just shoot geese and no need for a licence
I wonder who will import all the Sub Guage Non toxic shot. No one is yet.
I have just purchased a 20, 686 silver pigeon and purchased knowing a ban on lead is likely.
Justified it as I will use it for quail.
I only shoot ducks a bit and will try and source some lead equivalent like tungsten. might be expensive but recoil on steel shot out of 12ga is too much for me!

Is this ban only over water?
Oh well business as usual then
They'll be banned by 2033 too :pacman:
this how been coming since non-toxic shot came in for 12g,no one was bringing in non-toxic for the 12g until they had to.there will be some good cheap 20g's for sale in the next few year's,time to start saving guy's :thumbsup:
Ironically the US is finding that steel is worse than lead in waterways. it rusts and turns the water orange.
fishing sinkers will be next
What scientific studies have been carried out in NZ that have findings the same as overseas?
Different environments!
Sure shallow lakes you may have a problem. But in general crock of s***!
Why are country's now bring lead back for shooting?
I recon we should all shoot with 1080 doc sees no problem with dropping that in our waterways :wtfsmilie: more damage being done there:ORLY:
