Frequently Asked Questions
What caliber or firearm is needed to detonate a Tannerite target?
Tannerite targets require a high-velocity centerfire rifle round traveling at approximately 2,000 fps or faster to detonate. Common calibers such as .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, and .22-250 work reliably. Handgun rounds, rimfire cartridges, and shotgun slugs generally do not produce enough velocity to set off the target, making it safe for transport and handling.
How far away should I be when shooting a Tannerite target?
Tannerite recommends a minimum safe shooting distance of 100 yards for a 1/2 lb target. Always follow all manufacturer safety guidelines and ensure the surrounding area is clear of debris, dry brush, and bystanders before detonating. Never shoot at a target placed on or near flammable materials.
Can I mix the target in advance and store it for later use?
No — Tannerite's two-component formula should only be mixed immediately before use. The unmixed components are stable and can be stored safely on a shelf for an extended period, but once mixed, the target should be used promptly. Never transport or store a pre-mixed Tannerite target.
