Curious about non-lead ammunition? Would you like to test a variety to see how they shoot? Join us for a free, informative, and hands-on event. Oregon hunters have a strong history of conservation and we hope this event will continue this great tradition.
Bring your own rifle and favorite ammunition
- See how non-lead ammunition compares to your favorite lead shot in your own rifle
- Discuss the concerns about lead ammunition – lead bullet fragments can remain in game meat and gut piles, creating a known health hazard for scavenging eagles, wildlife, and possibly for humans.
- We’ll also test bullet performance by shooting into water barrels and gelatin
