Nice video and happy to see him promoting black powder shooting. Thanks for the link!

My favourite bit.... when he said, and showed the results, " you don't need a fancy cushion wad".

 

[earlwb]

Why not. I see no reason it would not work. Biodegradable too.

Nice video, have seen it before! But wot is up wid de 'Golfer's Elbow' band on de forend ... ?

The black powder inrangetv videos are always interesting. It’s also a good way to expose the “highspeed low drag” people to the black powder arts.

Marijuana weed wadding would be interesting.

Duuuude, where's my blunderbuss.

Ads a little extra stank to the burnt powder

Ive used weeds and grass for wadding before ....works fine

Green grass was used in Australia in high fire seasons, only trouble was finding green grass.

An article in Muzzle Blasts tells of a hunter who takes no wads with him to the woods. Uses only what he finds. Notices no difference in shooting. He said 'back then' people didn't buy or use wads like we do today.

I have heard of corn shucks (dry maize leaves) used as wadding.

Interesting! When I get my smoothie back in business I plan to give this a go with grass tween powder n lead.

No no they have it wrong, Comfortably Numb who isn't will be along soon to tell you that you ain't funny or something. You must use cushion wads!!

Yes, it's true. The NWTG that I got from RobM works beautifully with weeds, dry grass, or even wadded up paper towels!!

Fabulous guns!!

A few weeks ago I was using green leaves in my 20 gauge and peppering cans easily at 20 yards. Made me wonder why we need all these fancy wads.

 

[Alexitt]

Hornet nest, grass, leaves... Pretty much all work fine, all they're really for is to hold everything in place till it goes BOOM...

Respect your self , your gun and the game you are hunting. Use proper cards and wads to ensure a tight killing pattern.
