Oh I know a few RO's who would keech their pants inside out over this.

They look like fun though - so it will probably be outlawed on a few ranges.

Yes - I've used them.
The ones that fit inside a clay are really good for shotgun work - particularly in getting new shooters interested.
The others are also very good - they are self-adhesive so you can stick them on a target. They make 'tactical' shoots more fun but beware, they can set a target backer on fire so be sure to be in a position to quickly deal with such an occurrence.

I took some on my last trip to Severnside.... they are great fun... One tip don fix them to and targets that may be flammable, we fixed them to ceramic tiles and stuck them in the sand they make a great bang great fun...

Great fun but at £1 a go things can get expensive very quickly!

Really good fun for the son and his air rifle, can go off with a fairly loud bang as well

There is one less target frame at Horsford range because of these :squirrel: It went up like a Roman candle!

Try sticking 3 together and shooting them. The resulting bang was enough to get all of ducking for cover
