Voluntary, Hands-On Conservation Events

Join us in the field, on the range, or at the booth. Across the country, the North American Lead-Free Partnership and our partners host free events that help hunters and wildlife enthusiasts explore the benefits of lead-free hunting ammunition.

Whether you’re curious about switching your hunting ammunition, want to test lead-free ammo in your own firearm, or just want to learn from biologists and seasoned hunters, these events offer trusted, science-based, and experience-based insights in a space open to questions and discussion.

All events are voluntary, welcoming, and built for real-world use. Many events include free lead-free ammo (while supplies last), expert demonstrations, and opportunities to connect with your local wildlife community.
