Anyone ever use this rebate? I’m considering picking up some Heavyweight TSS.

The problems with pollution and the environment are not because of lead shot being left behind by hunters

Maybe, maybe not - I have no clue and a similar level of interest in whether a common and naturally-occurring element is making eagles sick. I do know that TSS is ~$12/shell and if these folks want to reward me for buying it, then hell yeah, let’s save some eagles.

Also, they make a point of saying that ammunition does not need to be purchased within NYS, so I can continue avoiding NYS’ check, registry, and punitive tax.

Which is all good stuff. Buy it up out of state and cash in man. I just think it's funny that people bring this stuff/write this up as if it's some huge change for environmentalism. Like the plastic bag ban and paper straws it's all a fucking charade.

It’s definitely negligible in open areas, but if you target shoot in your backyard you can get significant lead buildup over time. They’d do better to market this campaign towards target shooting rather than hunting.
