What are some popular exploding targets?
Tannerite manufacturer specifically states it is not a fire hazard.exploding targets; Cause Fires.............You must be careful.
H2 Targets are what most gun shows and stores around here are selling.I have seen several different brands of exploding targets commercially available. Has anybody used several that can give a comparison? I have used Tannerite before. I bought the cheaper Star product and it would not go off. I have seen a product marketed with the Red Jacket name on it and just saw one called Sonic Boom targets. Compare and contrast
So does H2. From their FAQ page;Tannerite manufacturer specifically states it is not a fire hazard.
Q: Will these targets start fires?
A: No, they will not even start fires when shot in dry grass.
Tannerite isn't so much a fireball as a pressure wave. It's a more stable form of black powder.
Tannerite manufacturer specifically states it is not a fire hazard.
Tannerite manufacturer is lying. Exploding targets of several types , including Tannerite, have started several fires in western forests. That is why the Forest Service has made them illegal. At least they did in the forest I live in. I've talked to law enforcement about it. They have shot super slow motion video of them blowing up, and there is a flame. While it is a small, and a very fast flash of flame, they can ignite a fire given the drought conditions in many western forests.
Call me ignorant, but I'll believe it when I see it myself.
