cant hunt ducks with lead shot today.shooting ranges are getting flack about lead.i guess if you really want to be green use a bow.but barnes has been good to hunting and hunters for years i wont boycott them i applaude them.half the big game species in north america have fallen to my barnes bullets and none i repeat none had to be shot twice,did not have to blood trail them either none went more than 20 yards not even the grizzly.thier contribution to conservation groups has been great.they are hunters like you and i.if you look close they are being copied alot.so they must be doing something right.sorry yopu dont get my vote on this one
