In the previous videos, I discussed in detail the probable EU ban on lead-based ammunition and the potential timeline for it. In this video, I give you my opinion on this issue.

Episode 48: Green Party with Pippa Hackett
This is another episode of the podcast where I talk with the representative of a political party. The goal is, as always, to dig a little deeper into some of the issues affecting the outdoors lifestyle. This time our guest is Pippa Hackett who is a Green Party Councillor and a spokesperson on Agriculture, Food, Forestry, Heritage & Animal Welfare.
Once again I want to include the disclaimer that it is not my intention to promote any political party. Instead, I want outdoors enthusiasts to be aware of how their support for a particular option might impact the activities they love.
Episode 47: The killing of hen harriers on grouse moors
Hen harriers are ground-nesting birds of prey whose UK population is in critical condition. Unfortunately, time after time we hear that a hen harrier has been killed illegally on grouse moors, a heavily-managed grouse habitat used for driven grouse shooting. In this episode, I discuss this hot issue with a field sports journalist Matt Cross.
Can we stop the European ban on lead ammunition?
The European Commission is gearing up to introduce a ban on the use of lead in shooting and fishing. But can anything be done about it or is it a done deal at this stage?
Timing on the coming ban on lead ammunition
The proposal by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to restrict the use of lead-based ammunition and fishing tackle containing lead is looming. In this video, I discuss the timeline of coming events that will lead to approval or rejection of the proposed restrictions.
The EU ban on lead in hunting and fishing
In this video, I discuss the recent proposal by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to restrict the use of lead-based ammunition and (later) lead-contained fishing tackle.
Shooting for Hunters
Following on the success of our HCAP video series, I decided to extract the shooting positions footage and present it in the form of a few separate videos. I hope that these can be found more easily and used by people interested in shooting in general. After all, shooting is an outdoors activity! So there you have it.
