[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1410158, member: 75933"] I run a similar style range already. We use a well on our farm and the range is 500yds away and down hill from where the house is. I'm not worried about the lead at all. I know for a fact that all the water that hits the range runs away from the house, whatever effect that has on the water supply I don't know. If you're in any way worried, run a filter capable of filtering lead from the water, and poof, you're fine. I grew up in a house thoroughly painted with lead paint, spent most of my youth hand scraping some of it off. Got tested afterward, and didn't have much more than very trace amounts in my blood. If that didn't get in, then no range lead will bother you. [/QUOTE]
