Target clays= pollution??

[Phat Eagle]

Im mo expert, but I'm told the lead issue only actually comes up with lead that had been micropulverised, as they used to do with fuel and paint. Lead from projectiles is inert, much like lead in the ground.

I believe this is another canard to scare the public.

The vast majority of clays shooters shoot lead. The clays are made from pitch and crushed limestone.

This material is also known to The State of California to cause cancer as well...
Food for thought.

And most people don't like the biodegradable targets, because they have been found umbroken, with up to six or eight holes in them.

I am not sure “most” is the correct word, some people do complain about bios. Some people complain about everything.

The vast majority of clays shooters shoot lead. The clays are made from pitch and crushed limestone.

The limestone would make the soil basic (as opposed to acidic). Basic soils slow down the oxidation of lead shot and subsequent contamination of the groundwater. Some ranges routinely treat the soil with lime.
