Target Shooting with lead ammunition
11-2-2013
California Department of Fish & Wildlife
Question: I was walking the Yolo Bypass Levee north of I-80 this weekend and saw a group shooting from the levee at some targets that were placed right next to the slough and adjacent wetlands to the east. If waterfowl hunters are required to use non-lead shot to prevent incidental lead poisoning, shouldn't target shooters firing where their shot will enter the wetland also have to use non-lead shot?
It was also disappointing to see a lot of spent shells, clay target debris and glass left all over the ground. Is there any particular regulation prohibiting this? Thanks
Answer: California Fish and Wildlife laws don't prohibit the use of lead ammunition for target shooting, but they do prohibit people from depositing garbage, shells, glass, etc. within 150 feet of state waters (Fish and Game Code, section 5652.) If you see this again, please call CalTip at 888-334-2258 and report it.
