    Info Sheet for Ranges

    Hello Gryphon Energetics, I'd love to buy your products, but have a couple of questions.

    Do you have a product info sheet that I could share with ranges? These would be used to help sell them that these are safe and good targets.

    Of the three ranges I shoot at:

    - One has ambiguous (unknown what an RSO would say) rules on the targets.
    - One would prohibit the targets full-stop.
    - One would allow the targets, but guaranteed some members would push for a ban out of fear these things are dangerous to the public, and/or mistake them as illegal.

    An info sheet would go a long way towards clarifying the safety, and hopefully allowing these targets to be used anywhere.

    Hey guys, any follow up to this

    Something for the ranges would be great, as most are cowering to the CFO about how dangerous these are. Every range I've talked to, is a outright ban on "explosives"

    Also something for the Roscos of the world would be nice. As this products seems to cross a few documents about usage and such, some bulletin points would be a big thumbs up.

    As a R.O. myself at my local club...an indoor range, there are more important issues to take into accout outside of members wanting to "spice" up their shoot....rather than just shooting boring old paper.
    the first is public perception....
    To assume that joe public would be concerned that their local club is shooting guns at explosive targets, regardless of what the literature says....would be an understatement.
    throw in a few lefties...supported by leftie media...and it would be a public relations nightmare for any club...
    As clubs anywhere our business licences come up for renewal at given times....public perception of this type of activity...going on in their "back yard" at a local establishment....could complicate things immensely.
    As shooting enthusiasts today, to keep our sport around for our kids to enjoy, we must take vigilance on public perception of our actions....and how we conduct ourselves.

    In my opinion, explosive targets are meant for having fun deep in the bush.....out of public eye...or target shooting on private rural property, keeping in mind...not to piss off the neighbors.

    IMHO

    Upon review, as a manufacturer we cannot provide any information that may be construed as legal advice. With respect to legalities we recommend following the links we have provided to the Explosives Regulatory Division's website.

    For the interim, clubs are welcome to contact us directly for further inquiries.
