Q: How does the exploding targets work?
A: Our center fire exploding target can
only explode if it is shot by a high powered rifle bullet going over 2200 fps. However, our rim fire targets (Magnums) can be set off with a .22 caliber long rifle bullet shot from a rifle.
After a bullet strikes the target, it starts a molecular chain reaction. As molecules separate, they break the sound barrier. The explosion you hear is a sonic boom from the molecules separating and the smoke you see is a cloud of water vapor.
Q: Why are these targets legal? And what laws do I have to follow when they are mixed?
A: Exploding targets are legal because The US Federal Government allow the use and mix of up to fifty pounds of Black powder for personal sporting use. These targets are much like black powder, except are very stable and safe to use. The following are rules you must obey when using these targets:
#1: Never mix more than you should or shoot any amount greater than the intended target size.
#2: Once mixed, It is considered a high order explosive and you cannot transport it or store it without proper licensing, magazines and land. In addition, do not resell or transfer the target to anyone else. THE TARGET MUST BE MIXED AND SHOT ON SITE!
