Poppers at the hunt test.... The following comes from the August - September 2002 Judges Corner.  

2002 HRC Board of Directors Meeting - Vote on Poppers: 

Many of you are aware that there have been ongoing discussions over the past year regarding what types of poppers clubs can and/or should use at their licensed hunts.  Two motions were made and passed by the Board about this issue: 

1)    “ HRC Clubs have the option to decide whether they use factory loaded poppers or safety poppers at their licensed and preliminary tests. Safety poppers are defined as “primer only, shotgun shells”. And…

2)    “Factory loaded primer only shotgun shells will be used”. In other words clubs will continue to be able to decide if they want to use conventional factory poppers, or safety (primer only) poppers.  If they choose safety poppers, they must be factory loaded.  Information on where to obtain these is available on the HRC website. Let’s get to the scenario I wanted to share with you, which by the way, I’m told happened at a recent hunt test (perhaps near you).
