- Week 24 to delivery, avoid going to a shooting range because of concern to the fetus's hearing.
- Up to Week 24 - exposure to lead in shooting range poses a risk:
- Shoot in an open or closed shooting range with appropriate ventilation systems
- Wear a hat, shirt with long sleeves and closed shoes
- Wear a disposable respirator
- Use safety headphones
- Use safety glasses
- Wash hands with soap immediately after shooting
- Wash clothes and shower immediately when you arrive home
- Use lead-free ammunition
