Several years ago, I was at the local skeet club at the same time as one of our local personalities who was both offbeat and frugal. He was discussing at length his experimental loading with paper toweling as wadding. The members managed to ignor him until the second instance of starting a grass fire with the flaming cloud of confetti that accompanied each shot. At that time he was invited to leave by the club operator.
