At Natural Shoots , we support these landscapes through the careful use of wildflower meadow seeds that rebuil

Alongside them, a much smaller—yet still significant—number of paper-cased cartridges are fired, estimated at over 200,000 units . Whether on the clay grounds or in the field, the story tends to be the same: once fired, cartridges are simply discarded. Most of the shooting industry’s sustainability focus today has understandably centred around replacing lead shot with steel and making certain c
