Tannerite Sports LLC

Tannerite Sports manufactures the industry-standard binary reactive targets that give shooters instant visual feedback through a visible explosion on impact. These aren't gimmicks—they're engineered shot indicators that work when rifles are zeroed properly.

Tannerite targets come in multiple weights to match your shooting distance:

• •1/4, 1/2, and 1 lb targets — Place 100 yards downrange minimum
• •2 lb targets — Require 200 yards minimum distance
• •White Lightning rimfire targets — Designed specifically for .22 ammunition (15 shots per target)
• •ProPack cases — Bulk options with 5-target cases for cost savings

Reliable detonation requires hitting targets with a transonic round—anything traveling 2,000 feet per second or faster. Common rounds include .223/5.56mm, .243 Winchester, .308/7.62mm NATO, 7.62x39mm, and larger calibers up to .50 BMG. Larger diameter bullets perform more reliably than smaller ones.

Tannerite emphasizes that competitors don't follow the same safety and quality guidelines. Their targets include a mixing container and clear instructions for proper composition.

Stored dry at room temperature, Tannerite targets remain viable for approximately 10 years. They're designed to be mixed at the range and shot immediately—not transported or stored in mixed form without proper explosives endorsements.

• •Always mix targets immediately before use with the included container
• •Wear ear and eye protection (these create significant noise)
• •Elevate targets above ground to minimize flying debris
• •Never place targets inside, on, or under metal or rocks
• •Respect local noise ordinances and adjoining property owners
• •Legal use is as a shot indicator only—do not combine over 2 lbs per shot

Tannerite also offers branded apparel, hats, and gift items through their companion site, plus a network of retail locations where you can purchase their targets locally.
