Overview

This starter pack is built for hunters and shooters who want a reactive target for rifle practice and sighting-in sessions. It includes six 1/2-lb. jars and is designed to activate only when struck by a rifle shot of 2,000 FPS or more, with no spark or flame activation. When triggered, it produces a loud boom, flash, and cloud of smoke, so it is best used with proper ear and eye protection and from a minimum safe distance of 100 yards.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Minimum safe distance is 100 yards, which limits use to appropriate open-range settings.
  • The product is designed to produce a loud boom, flash, and cloud of smoke, so hearing and eye protection are necessary.
  • Includes six 1/2-lb. jars, which is convenient for multiple uses but may be more than needed for a single session.
