Four favourite clay loads from Eley Hawk
Industry leading manufacturers of fine shotgun cartridges for clay and game shooters, Eley Hawk, have considered the needs of clay shots after national Lockdown 3.0 and nominated a tetrad of cartridges ready for the return to clay shooting.
Eley Hawk’s Managing Director, Rodrigo Crespo, commented: “We know that once we are able to return to shooting there is going to be a surge in the amount of people attending clay shoots, and that will likely mean a couple things. One, a possible shortage of your favourite load; and two, a chance of not being able to visit your preferred discipline due to high bookings and having to shoot a variety of stands. Therefore, we have come up with our most versatile clay loads with which to tackle any discipline with confidence.”
Eley’s all-round clay loads:
• Titanium
The premier clay cartridge by Eley is devastatingly effective at all ranges. With ultra-hard, premium lead magnum shot and an exclusive A-Type plastic wad or Kleena fibre wad, the Titanium and Titanium Strike has unrivalled pattern density and consistency ensuring the most powerful clay breaks. Available in shot size 7.5 or 8 (Titanium) 7.5 (Titanium Strike) for serious competition shooting.
