dustyr...Did you see the article a couple of weeks back about heavy metals in Badin Lake...As you know, this lake was formed during WW-II and Alcoa uses the power to make aluminum...The only problem is, now we can't eat the fish out of there...

It's the same way on many rivers down in eastern NC...The pollution from coal powered plantsrains down on our eastern rivers andnow rivers like the Chowan have posters at boat ramps warning about eating fish fromthe waters...

They have bigger fish to fry than the few lead balls that I might leave out there with my flintlock...Look at the Civil Warbattlefields...Do folks around Gettysburyhave a higherrate of health problems than folks from other areas???

I'm 53, been shooting flintlocks since 1977 and I'm not changing...
