When it comes to shooting in the UK, the conversation around sustainability has never been
more important. At Carter Outdoor Pursuits, we are proud stockists of the Eley Hawk Zenith
Pro Eco Wad Game Cartridge, a product designed for shooters who want uncompromising
performance while supporting the future of our countryside.
So, what makes the Pro Eco wad different? Unlike traditional plastic wads, which can linger
in the environment for decades, the Pro Eco wad is manufactured from a unique, plant-
based polymer. Once exposed to soil and moisture, it breaks down naturally into biomass,
water and carbon dioxide, leaving no toxic residue behind. In real countryside conditions,
this process takes just a few months, protecting the very landscapes that make UK shooting
estates so special.
Performance remains at the forefront. The Zenith Pro Eco Wad is engineered to deliver
consistent patterns, excellent velocity, and reliable down-range energy. It’s perfectly suited
for the demanding birds found across some of the finest shooting estates in the UK.
Shooters can expect the same precision and confidence they’ve come to rely on from Eley
Hawk, without compromise.
By choosing biodegradable cartridges, you’re not only enjoying world-class shooting
experiences, but also contributing to the preservation of the countryside for future
generations. At Carter Outdoor Pursuits, we believe innovation and tradition can go hand-in-
hand.
