Anyone have experience building a 100 yard shooting range on their property that is also the property where you live?
My concern is that lead will build up and leach into the groundwater. And since my water comes from a drilled well, this could be an issue down the road. I do have a whole house filtering system in place.
I just do not like the idea of filling a berm with lead/copper etc and leaving it there. I would feel better about it if i could collect it after a certain period of time.
I understand that the ground itself acts as a "filter" but since i plan on living at this property long term. Im not looking to pollute my property in any way.
Are there any methods of easily collecting lead once shooting into a berm?
