    Finalize my order this AM for local pick up. Will we be getting a call/email when stock is in?
    Sometimes it is taken, sometimes it is not. But there is no bargain, for here, what is,
    is what must be

    Yes! For shipping orders, we'll charge when the orders are ready to ship. For pickup orders, we'll call/email when the stock is in and pickups are ready

    You're welcome!

    I am hoping that we'll have a few folks take some videos of their Gryphon explosive adventures. Keep it legal and responsible though!

    I'll give it a shot, my use is identifying long range hits, will make some videos with the 300 and 338 out at near mile/mile.

    Angry I ain't prayin that!

    Ok. I like the idea. I like its made here. But I'm gonna be the devils advocate.... You tell me why I'm wrong and I'll buy this product...

    I can get a case of 24 Gryphon product at 149.99 for 24 x 1/2 pound targets. Unit price 6.25.
    I can get a case of Tannerite product from another retailer for 69.87 for 20. Unit price 3.49.

    That's almost double. Double for a Canadian product? I can't honestly actually believe I paid 3.49 a target for basically NH4NO3. It blows me away. I hope the containers are expensive for what the publics paying. I for one won't be buying "Canadian" for twice the price.

    As well, if I buy the non-Gryphon brand the cost difference is still far greater than the 20 bucks I paid for shipping a case lot of the none Gryphon brand to me. And everyone is still gonna pay shipping on the Gryphon....

    And in the end, why are we paying anywhere near this for these targets? Are retailers marking this up 4 to 5 hundred percent from factory? Is the factory pounding us hard? Both? This is the miracle product of the decade for making money!

    Think about this: NH4NO3, is 4 hundred dollars a metric ton bulk. And that's at the high end! That's 2204 pounds. I know the flash powder and container will add to the cost, but powdered aluminum isn't expensive either.

    Finishing words.... I can buy a can of broccoli and cheddar soup. They used ammonium nitrate (probably) to fertilize the broccoli cause it's so cheap! And I can buy that can, made of aluminum, and the contents for a buck! A single dollar! But the fertilizer to grow the broccoli I can't buy for cheaper than 7 bucks a pound?

    We're getting hosed. I love the damn things..... In fact I'm addicted to them. But we're being taken to the cleaners! The shipping.... Should be the most expensive thing here.

    Disclaimer: this IS NOT in any way meant to diss AmmoSupply, it's meant as a general rant against the makers of these targets.


    Ka-Pow.

    We are a brand new company that manufactures every target by hand, with all components and materials sourced in Canada and the USA. Tannerite imports prelabeled containers from China and has existed for over a decade. Then there's little things like explosives manufacturing licenses, lease on our plant, and insurance which we have to pay for before we even send one target out the door.

    And if you are able to find us bulk AN prill for $400 CAD/MT DDP to our plant we'd be very happy, as that's about the average cost for a 22 MT minimum order FOB Qingdao China in USD, excluding duty, tax, brokerage, freight, insurance, and exchange.

    If the price isn't in line with your expectations that's fine, but ridiculing a manufacturer when you obviously have no clue about the industry and the real costs involved is inappropriate.

    Don't know what u complained about?! AmmoSupply offers great prices...

    Look, i just paid $2.50 for 750ml bottle of water at the gas station, meanwhile, my water bill was $2.58 for a cubic meter last month, thats 1,000,000ml, can fill 1333.33 bottles... when i drunk my bottle of water, i didn't ask "why are we paying anywhere near this for these water?" because i was freaking thirsty, and that bottle of water just made my day!
