The company
A single specialty, practiced for two decades.
Windmill Enterprises has been in business since 2005 and has focused solely on lead reclamation since 2011. In that time we have worked more than 60 ranges and recovered over 10 million pounds of lead from trap, skeet and sporting clays ranges across the country.
We constantly upgrade our equipment to minimize downtime and benefit from the latest upgrades and improvements.
Windmill is a family owned business with deep roots in the trap shooting community, and every range receives the same care we would give our own.
Is your club a candidate?
New to lead reclamation?
Many clubs want to know whether their range is a candidate for lead reclamation. Four steps, completed by the club, will tell you before anyone makes a trip.
See the four steps- 01 Count the trailer loads
- 02 Dig one square foot
- 03 Wash it out
- 04 Weigh the lead
How a project works
From first conversation to completion.
Setup and breakdown each take a single day, and most ranges are back in operation within two weeks.
-
01
Initial conversation
A conversation with the owner about your range: how long it has been in use, the number of fields, and the terrain. Most questions are answered at this stage.
-
02
Soil sampling
Before anything is scheduled, the club collects a soil sample from the shot fall zone, following our instructions. If the results are good, Windmill Enterprises will do a full site assessment. The result shows whether there is enough lead for the project to be viable.

03
On-site work
Setup and breakdown each take a single day. Work is scheduled around the club calendar, and most ranges are back in operation within two weeks.

04
Payment
Payment is made within 30 days of completion, based on the amount recovered.
Outdoor trap, skeet & sporting clays
What lead shot reclamation involves.
Years of trap, skeet and sporting clays leave a substantial deposit of lead in the soil of the shot fall zone. We bring in state-of-the-art equipment, separate the shot from the soil on site, and grade the field as good as or better than it was before. The reclaimed shot is recycled, and the revenue is shared with the range owner. There is no charge for our services.
