| So does anyone know a cheap(er) option for tannerite targets? All the ones I can find are like 9.00 each. Pretty fun but quick fun. Might as well tape my wallet to one of the bottles and shoot it! |

Buy the 1/2 lb. targets - still loud as hell but cheaper. Also buy in quantity for cheaper pricing. I would suggest not mixing any homebrews - 1) to avoid any kind of oops. An ND of gun may be bad, an ND of explosives WILL be bad and 2) You never want the E in BATFE crawling up your ass. |
A Federal 1.3g explosives license allows you to purchase "Class B" fireworks. Salutes will make anything else seem like a SMALL firecracker! PursuitSS |
Where do you get such a license? |
the ATF |
The formula is available by looking at the patent filed for Tannerite. One cup AN to one tablespoon AL powder works. ETA: The Tannerite formula is described by weight, but I used a scale and the above volume ratio is very close. Close enough. |
I use plastic soda bottles. Mix it well. I use a small tupperware tub where I thoroughly mix it. |
