    Storage Conditions for Thundershot?

    What are the optimal conditions for Thundershot?

    Are they completely sealed containers where I do not have to worry about mositure absorbtion for long term storage?

    Also, don't forget you can't store it in your house (or attached garage), must be in a locked storage unit. You also can't have more than 20kg , and it can't be stored once it is mixed. A long list of conditions are listed in the regs (paragraphs 263-265 I believe)

    Q: How should I store my targets?
    A: Targets should be stored in a cool dry place, separate from a dwelling, inside a storage unit.

    The containers are sealed however even plastic is permeable to moisture to a certain extent. Please store Thundershot targets in a cool and dry location preferably below 30C and 50% humidity.

    If you are in a very humid region we recommend the use of dessicant packs or other moisture removal systems in the same way you would protect your firearms.

    My guess would be very few. Not sure that there is much of a physical risk in doing so, but in the off chance the regulators found out I'd imagine there is a few charges they could lay that wouldn't be much fun to deal with.
