    Default Explosive targets are soooo damn fun

    For those of you who like to do some interesting fun thngs every now and then when you go out, I have to recommend explosive targets. I got the chance to shoot some of these today at 150 yards, I still have a smile on my face. It is a compound or mixture or whatever called tannerite. You can go to tannerite.com and check out the already made targets. It was a suprise that no law enforcement peeps came out to see what the hell was going on. Man, was it fun though! I wish I would have brought my camera but my friend didn't tell me that we were going to be doing anything out of the ordinary.

    Stuart, if you read this thread, could you go to the website tannerite.com and post the first youtube video that is on the home page of the site for me? Please kind sir? I can't figure out how to do it. Or someone else, you know, either way. Just wanted the video to be easy to be seen.

    BigBear has been talking about exploding target stuff (I think it was the tannerite) for some time and has offered a few times to share a little with folks. So many times I've wanted to join him and check it out.

    Sounds like fun stuff. One of these days....

    I do, I have 1lb and .5lb targets.... When I head out to the range, I usually put up a little blurb on here. I'd love for people to come on out and blow my stuff up. I never use all of it. Take care.

    Tannerite is addicting... going back to paper punching just isn't as much fun. I'd really like to go out into BLM land so I can use a 10lb or so at 500+ yards... that would be a HUGE boom...
