Three new nontoxic shot types approved for waterfowl hunting. On Monday August 9, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Service approved tungsten-bronze, a new formulation of tungsten-iron, and tungsten-tin-bismuth for use in waterfowl hunting. With these three new nontoxic shot types, there are now 10 nontoxic shot types available to waterfowl hunters. A listing of the approved shot types is available at http://migratorybirds.fws.gov/issues/nontoxic_shot/nontoxic.htm.
