sand versus shot in speaker stands


recently purchased monitors and stand for bedroom and do not know if i should fill stand or not. if the stands should be filled what material should be used. i always read about stands being sand or shot ready, but i must admit i do not know what is meant by shot and where one goes to by shot.

thanks in advance for the help

Yes, lead is heavier, but you really don't want to be handling it and creating lots of lead dust and then having it around to become a problem down the line. When you weigh the safety, sand is plenty heavy enough.
