    Does anyone know where I can buy fibre wad cartridges for clays (like Eley VIP Sporting, though almost anything would do)? I have tried Courtlough and a few other dealers around Dublin and none seem to stock them.

    Thanks!

    I'm sure simon in sportsden would get them in for ya. http://www.sportsden.ie/
    What are your reasons for the fibre wad in preference to the plastic ones? Curious as I'm not a serious shotgunner.

    Shooting on a farm that has livestock. Don't want to choke anything and not likely to pick them up either as they will be all over the place.

    Don't buy cheapies, they pattern terrible. I bought a box of cheap ones a few years back and nearly every bird was wounded. I switched to Hull and Express and the birds were nearly all killed outright. GB also make decent fibre wads.

    Yes, but where do you buy them...no one near me seems to sell them. I'm loath to drive to Navan. Any suggestions for sellers of fibre wad cartridges in- or around- Dublin, Kildare or Wicklow.

    Navan is a bit too far...unless they are the only game in down.

    Give Pat in Hilltop a ring, he may have some or can get them in. He got me some Eley Game sixes and sevens two and a half inch fibre wad for an old english game gun I have :D
