    There is a wad company out there has fluorescent orange wads. I heard this is because it looks like a piece of target.

    It this cheating?

    It isn't in the rulebook is it? But it should be.

    I think you're talking about the Winchester Tracker shells. They allow you to see where you are shooting. Some are orange and some are black. The orange ones could be mistaken foe a piece of a wad.

    Agree with OTH, but if the shooter wanted to cheat, $14/box is a steep price to pay.

    There are some windjammer clones that are bright orange.

    Those fluorescent orange wads are for target claimers? I thought they were orange so we can find them easier.

    Shooters& scorers have been wads for chips for a long time. It's not just the color but that does make it easy to mistake!
