The most significant lead risk is to children, who are growing their brains a s nervous systems.
My club recently improved our ranges in many ways. One thing I notice is a concrete roof over the backstop berm. It prevents ricochets over the berm or any false claim of ricochets over the berm. It keeps the berm dry from rain, which makes it easy for the fellas that sift the dirt to collect the lead for casting more bullets.
We all care about the environment, maybe more than people that don’t get outside for sport. Recycling isn’t some new thing- it’s cleaning up and re using perfectly good lead.
Before, we didn’t much think about it. I think it’s better now, even if we made bullets out of candy corn.
