Explosive Targets-WOOOOOOOHOOO!! Ka-BOOM!!

Went out today and shot some of the "explosive targets" Not the small ones you see at the gun shows, but the new "Tannerite" targets.

Let me just say one thing:

THEY ARE THE COOLEST THING I'VE SEEN IN YEARS!!!!

We had an *incredible* time! I'm STILL hyped up!

Basically, they work like this: There are two parts to the explosive target. You mix them together, then wait a few minutes. Then shoot with a high-powered rifle. (22s and pistols need not apply!!)

I've included a link below to one of the videos I made with my digital camera.

These targets are 100% LEGAL, just so you know.

That video shows what happens when you put a target into an old monitor (that was already shot up).

We also put one near an old fire extinguisher that had been shot many times. It ended up a good 200' away, over several small hills.

Hehehehe........fun fun fun!!

NO! You may not have my guns! Now go crawl back into your hole!

    I have a friend who dabbles whtih these. After a while you tend to get bored and make even bigger ones and think of even coller things to do with them.

    They are the neatest thing since toilet paper.

    We had a bunch of younger club members use these on the 50 yd range and blew out the target backstops.

    Pack slow, fall stable, pull high, hit dead center.

    ATF FEDERAL EXPLOSIVES LAW AND REGULATIONS 2000
    Are binary explosives subject to regulation under the federal explosives law. YES
    Until the compounds are mixed, they are not classified as explosives and, therfore, are not suject to control. However, once mixed, binary expolosives are considerd to be "explosive materials" and are subject to all applicable federal requirements. A person who regularly combines compounds of binary explosives to manufacture such explosives for the purpose of sale or distribution or for the persons own business use is a "manufacturer" of explosive materials and must be licensed as a manufacturer under law [18 U.S.C. 841(h); 27 CFR
    55.11: definition of "manufacturer"]

    you are combining A & B compounds to make an explosive, you are in violation of a number of laws with each violation 10,000.00 or 10 years in jail, I have seen the adds be carfull I have been in the explosives business for over 25 years and lost a few friends along the way explosives do not forgive and ATF is just as bad if you ever get on the wrong side of them they will make your life hell.

    mhanson,
    Ok, I'll bite. THESE ARE NOT ILLEGAL IF YOU USE THEM IN THE MANNER THEY ARE MEANT FOR! I asked the ATF, and they said that the key was "regularly combines".

    If you do it on a daily basis, yes, they are illegal.

    If you make them once in a while, and shoot them, no, they aren't illegal.

    Mercury I realy don't care what you do I'm only stating the facts. If you think the ATF says yes its OK to make boms once in while then go ahead, you ever get caught your going to be sitting with BUBA for a long time, pack your butt plug. we deal with ATF on a daily bases making anything that goes boom right now is not a good idea
