Default First tests with Tannerite - Video

Thought I would share a little video of our first tests with Tannerite. I can't see this stuff being legal for long...

Discharge of firearms at night is not legal in AB.

Hunting at night for varmints is allowed in many US states, therefore discharge of firearms at night cannot be under a blanket prohibition, like it is here.

Just gonna point something out. Tannerite is for marking a target for long range shooting. That is it. If you start testing its explosive energy on things, that will create traction for the authorities to have it banned. Please stop, and could one of the mods delete the OP's link. No offence to the OP, just helping all of us enjoy our freedoms.

I think there is better stuff for dams that is easier to get than Tannerite.
It is now banned at a lot of ranges for several reasons, and some ranges for no reason other than the executive is afraid of what MIGHT happen when certain people who do not know how to safely use the stuff get their hands on it!

I have seen it used ( actually used it myself) at our range in the past with no issues.

I'd like to see another video, this time featuring a baseball bat, or a McSorley hockey stick. Something sporting, please.
