Frequently Asked Questions
What caliber do I need to detonate a Tannerite 1/2-pound target?
Tannerite targets require a high-velocity, supersonic centerfire rifle round to detonate — typically .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO or larger traveling at least 2,000 fps. Handgun rounds, rimfire ammunition, and subsonic loads generally do not produce sufficient velocity or impact energy to initiate detonation, making the targets safe to handle and transport.
Is Tannerite safe to store and transport before mixing?
Yes. Tannerite's two-component design keeps the product completely inert during storage and transport. Each component is individually non-explosive; the mixture only becomes an exploding target after you combine them per the included instructions. Store components in a cool, dry location away from heat sources, and always mix only the quantity you intend to use that day.
What is the recommended safe shooting distance for a 1/2-pound Tannerite target?
Tannerite recommends a minimum safe shooting distance of 100 yards for 1/2-pound targets. Always ensure a clear backstop is in place, that bystanders are positioned safely behind the shooter, and that you are shooting on appropriate land where exploding targets are permitted. Never use exploding targets in dry or fire-prone conditions.
