a few friends and myself are looing for somwhere in the areas north of Houston were we can touch off Tannerite?

The one place where we were doing it, the lease I was on during the off seasons, well, the owners son is becoming a bit too unbearable for us to deal with.

Mind you, we are responsible shooters and clean up our messes...my bud shoots a bunch of Wolf and other steel case and we clean that up as well as dead targets or the pieces thereof. We also try to leave the foliage and such alone, unless you wish us to "clear" out some trees. :D

We are real good at that...tannerite can leave a fairly small stump...and even then...we can take care of stumps, as well. :cool:


Thanks!

I have no idea about the answer to your question, so forgive my response, but I didn't know what tannerite was when I opened your post. I thought maybe it was a religious sect like Hutterites or Menonites! :)
Okay, I'll go away now. ;)

Weeeellll.....it CAN be a religious experience with the bigger charges!


That was bad, sorry? :D

I live in Huntsville and well I have some land that a few dead pine trees need to come down. Huntsville is about 15 to 20 miles north of you. I'm not real sure nor do I think I want to know where you got the tannerite.

Don't feel too bad. I thought the same thing...

Just thought I should let everyone who comes across this in. Tannerite is a binary explosive, when seperatethe chemicals are completly safe. Safe enough that anyone over 21 can have it mailed right to their doorstep. When mixed together it is still quite stable, infact it is recomended that you use a high powered rifle to set it off. Not to say that other things won't set it off. Not that I would recommend to any one else... but I have done some testing. I first came across tannerite when I got an E-mail from the ATF bomb data center. It seemed that a man in Montana ordered up a few cases of the stuff, not sure how many but enough to completly fill up a 5-gallon bucket. He put the bucket in an old junker car he had sitting out in a field and shot it through the window. Not much other than frame rails was left afterwards, and the overcast conditions deflected a blast wave rocking a nearby town. Thats where the ATF came in. They investigated and sent out a warning E-mail to bomb squads across america. Upon reciving this e-mail I immediatley had to order some. After getting that I immediatly had to order some more and share it with my co-workers, we ran a few test to see the vulnerability to military and comercial blasting caps, electric squibs, and magneisium flashbulbs just to get an idea of IED (Improvised Explosive Device) capabilties with Tannerite as a main charge. Overall what my primary observations were is that Tannerite is n extremly potent explosive...definatly 1.1 Also it is extremly supceptable to hygroscopicity, the ability to absorb moisture, so keep it dry. The rate of deflagration whas extremly fast. No-where near RDX but very similar to TNT. It has brisance, or pushing power that is just right for making hole in the ground. When heated it will exude but it will not crystalize, as there is no nirto-glycerine in the composition. I would recomend safe and proper use to any sportsman who is mature enough to respect it. After all is is explosive
