Polywad is a boutique manufacturer of shotgun shells based in Roberta, GA. Polywad develops shotgun shells based on the “Spred-R™” technology invented by CEO/Founder Jay Menefee.
Spread-R
Polywad manufactures and sells Spred-R™, Polymag™, Vintager™, DoubleWide™, Gram Crak-R™, GreenLite™ and Quik-Shok® shotgun shells.
These projectiles produce a fast and uniform pattern opening without negatively affecting pellet energy or downrange pellet count. These spread control loads can be used with any choke, from full to skeet, and provide the shooter with 80% to 150% more pattern area than conventional buckshot projectiles.
Spred-R fillers deliver heavy hits throughout the pattern by dispersing excess core granules into a wider pattern with a strong fringe. This results in fewer bird injuries and cleaner, faster kills.
Spred-R shells are ideal for smaller upland birds such as pigeon, chukar, grouse, quail, snipe and woodcock. Spred-R rounds come in 12, 16, 20 and 28 calibers.
Polywad recently developed a new line of low-recoil, non-toxic shotgun shells called GreenLite. These studless projectiles use biodegradable and photodegradable components and non-toxic steel shot.
