DESCRIPTION
A lead free range is one in which no lead-based ammo is used. Both indoor and outdoor ranges like the
Hialeah Shooting Range are getting on board with the lead-free movement for several reasons. Avoiding lead contamination is a good idea for avid shooters as well as the environment. Read on for some advantages of a lead free range.
1.) Health of shooters - There have been studies showing the link between elevated levels of lead in the body and exposure to shooting ranges. Both indoor and outdoor facilities can pose a health risk, though indoor facilities are more dangerous because there’s nowhere for the lead to go.
2.) Environmental health - It’s not just the shooters that can benefit from going lead-free. The environment can also stand to have a little less lead in its system. When bullets are left on the ground, birds often eat them, delivering unnatural amounts of lead into their systems. This can sometimes be fatal.
3.) Expense - While lead-free bullets aren’t the norm right now, they can become the norm in the future causing manufacturers to make great quantities. The mass production of lead-free bullets will surely lower the price.
Choosing a lead free range like the
Hialeah Gun Range is an investment in your health, the environment and the future. Find a lead free range to practice shooting today and know that you’re doing your part to help get the lead out.
