Freed prisoner
My dad and I drove to pick up our most recent order of H2 Targets and ended up meeting my brother, cousin, and friend at my grandfather's old farm property to do some demonstrations. Great fun with family at a very nostalgic place for us. We had the .22 sensitive "boomers" as well as the standard rifle targets. The .22 sensitive was detonated with my 9mm XD, but as a cautious guy I was behind a tree to get close enough to hit the thing and was a bit nervous about shrapnel. Probably best to use a rifle or have VUPDBlue hit it from 211 yards for you!
I noticed the .22LR targets (H2 Targets 5lb Bulk Pack .22LR Sensitive - Exploding Targets by HartaTac.com LLC) were much more powerful than the standard rifle ones (http://www.hartatac.com/Exploding_Targets-H2_Targets_10_Pound_Bulk_Pack.html). We splintered a landscape timber with about 3 ounces of the stuff. Here are some pics of the day, I'll post video later when I sort through it all.
Group shot (I was holding camera. My dad is on the right, brother on the left). I dare you to start a shooting trip with a back seat and table as shown and NOT spend half the time smiling and laughing!
.22 sensitive "Boomers" - approximately 3 ounces with a Ruger 10/22
.22 sensitive "Boomers" - remember these do carry a fire risk
.22 sensitive "Boomers" - so we nicked it the first time and lost 1.5 liters of pop, heh.
.22 sensitive "Boomers" - note the streaks of pop shooting off at the upper left of the shot
Wait, didn't we have TWO concrete blocks before the 3L exploded?
.22 sensitive "Boomers" - No one expected to hear "did you see that sugar cloud?!" that day
Finally a cool shot where the camera decided to meter on the detonation. It was getting dark, but similar lighting to the other pics.
