I’ve been wondering the same thing with how much more I am shooting. I’ve decided that as long as I wash my hands afterwards I’m good but also have considered gloves for days when I’m putting in work.

What are your thoughts on lead exposure?
- Thread starter SniperX
- Start date
I had my levels checked just to be sure. My primary didn’t want to do the test but I insisted. After 2 years of heavy indoor shooting … nominal levels. No heavy metal contamination
I’m sure most all of us are fine

“IS IT SAFE ?” ( Marathon Man)
at 68 im still with the mind of a scared twelve year old . Since that time ive
done all I could to as Pete said “ hope I die before i get old”. I just didn’t push
hard enough. Now I have to get even fuc ing older. So for the stuff ive done
to worry about anything in the airgun hobby just cracks me up. Yea I fill tanks
just above 5000 psi it’ll give me a hell of a jump if something popped haaa!

Im just the opposite ha ha ! The unknown ! I ve beat myself silly mainly as a motorcycle road racer but probably more over time as a lineman. The broken bones happen and besides the ribs ( they can be a bit debilitating) foot, shoulder blade, clavical from racing… Tibia, ankle, a couple fingers
you know the bone is broken but its not too bad. The concussions are another thing. I finally quit racing at 59 cause
Im an airhead enough cant turn that into invalid.
So back to guns oops AIR guns. I bought a edgun lelya on here a couple months ago. It is a complete piece of sh t.
It never worked properly. its been apart 20 times. Plus I think i paid top dollar.

I started getting my blood lead levels tested a couple years ago and my levels were not negligible.
It could have come from swaging pellets, handling pellets while shooting, or reloading (primer dust has lead styphnate).
I’m especially careful to not rub my eyes or nose after shooting until I’ve wiped down with a D-Lead wipe.

That's probably the biggest reason I don't buy expensive guns. Expensive guns are expensive to repair unless you can make the needed parts yourself.
My luck just ain't that good.
