The same also applies in the game shooting spheres, as farmers and landowners move away from plastic wad litter on their ground. The one-piece plastic cup wad remains the top choice for major competition use but moves against plastics have increased such that, in the UK at least, cartridge sales have swung back in favour of fibre wad cartridges.
