Guys,
Thank you very much for your generous words. It's I who has to thank you all, you did all the heavy work for us! What a nice bunch of NESers! You were very well organized, and really knew what you were doing. I tried to make your life a little easier, and spent a couple of days making all those trays, preparing tools, protective equipment, etc. My main goal was to minimize people exposure time to lead and lead dust. I also took apart all the boards covering the back stop.
To say I was surprised with the results, is not to say anything! If you recall, by the time I brought in the last member of NES crew (he was a little late, lost in commie Cambridge
), I believe not more than 30 minutes since the job started, practically all the lead from 15 bullet traps was gone. You had to see his face
. Luckily we had more than enough lead. I hope, nobody left disappointed. We even were able to spare several buckets of lead for Eddie Coil and Fixxax, who weren't able to join us today. The funny thing, at the end we were going around asking, anybody wants another bucket of lead?
I believe, we removed more than 40 5-gallon buckets of lead.
Again, I thank you all very much for you help, it was a pleasure working with you. And I hope we repeat this work in a couple of years. We have tons of students shooting lead down this range every day. It won't take long to fill those bullet traps again.
