Clay Shooting

JOCKERS WILD

The cartridge world is taking the move to becoming ‘eco-friendly’ very seriously, and new and smaller brands are getting very much involved. Last month we looked at the new Spanish brand, Bio Ammo, and this month we feature a pair of novel clay loads from Jocker: a 24 gram and a 28 gram, both in 7.5 shot size. The Jocker brand has made a modest name for itself during recent years in UK. The cartridges are imported and distributed by Shooting Star Ltd, who are the long time importer and distributor for the well known RC ammo.

These standout feature in these new Jocker cartridges is the novel fibre cup wad. This wad has been in development for more than two years now. That might sound like a long time for something that looks fairly simple, but my engineering background helps me to understand the trials and tribulations, not to mention serious investment, that it takes to turn an idea into a reality that can be produced by the million.
