Gryphon Energetics - 1lb. Jug of Thundershot

Canadian Made for Bigger Booms

Q: What calibers can I use with Gryphon targets?

A: The following calibers have been successfully used with our targets:

•.223 remington
•.308 winchester
•7.62x39mm
Larger, faster bullets increase reliability.

Q: Can I use a rimfire caliber with Gryphon targets?

A: The .22 Long Rifle and .22 Magnum are insufficient to detonate the target. The .17 HMR works in limited circumstances at reduced ranges (at the user\'s own risk and responsibility).

Q: Can I use a shotgun, handgun, or pistol caliber rifle with Gryphon targets?

A: No. Shotguns, handguns, and pistol caliber rifles typically do not have sufficient velocity and energy to detonate the target.

Q: At what range can I use these targets?

A: The recommended minimum safe distance for a 454g (1 pound) target is 100 meters. Targets can be placed further but you must keep in mind the velocity of your bullet at range, and not exceed a distance where the bullet will drop below 2,000 fps. Doing so may result in a partial detonation or a misfire.Be aware that the further the target, the more difficult it is to hit. Stay within the limits of your rifle and shooting ability to ensure a solid hit.

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.

Q: I had a partial detonation. What caused this?

A: There are three potential causes - insufficient mixing of the components, insufficient bullet velocity, or a grazing hit. Ensure your target is thoroughly mixed, your bullet is traveling at a sufficient speed when it strikes, and that you are shooting within the limits of your rifle, abilities, and environmental conditions such as wind, to strike the target as dead center as possible.When shooting at longer ranges and grazing hits are more likely to occur, wrap the target with strong tape. This will keep the target intact in the event a grazing shot cracks the container. Use transparent tape only so as not to obscure safety information on the labels.

DUE TO STORAGE REQUIREMENTS MAXIMUM of ONE CASE (12 Jugs).  LARGER QUANTITIES REQUIRE A MAGAZINE LICENSE
