How to Use Flare Exploding Targets

1. Surface Preparation:
Before use, select a dry, hard, and stable surface for mounting the target. For optimal performance, choose smooth and flat materials such as steel plate, metal, hard brick, or concrete. Avoid smooth materials as soft wood, cardboards, porous, uneven, or wet surfaces, as they may compromise adhesion and performance.

2. Affixing the Target:
Each target is equipped with a self-adhesive sticker on the back for quick and secure application.

  • Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive.

  • Firmly press the target onto the chosen surface, ensuring full contact for maximum hold.

3. Ready, Aim, Fire:
Once the target is affixed:

  • Take proper safety precautions and ensure you're shooting in a controlled and safe environment.

  • Aim directly at the center of the target.

  • Upon impact, the target will ignite, producing a bright flash, smoke, and a satisfying bang for instant visual and audible feedback.

My target did not ignite! Why?

  • The target has not been affixed on a smooth solid surface such as steel plate,metal, hardwood, brick, or concrete (Do not use soft wood, cardboard, paper, or plastic as backing).

  • The pellet/bullet has insufficient energy to create detonation (low-powered airguns or airsoft guns). Using a hard, smooth, and flat surface as backing (metal, brick, concrete) will produce the best results.

  • Flare Exploding targets will not ignite with low-powered air guns & airsoft guns. Flare exploding targets can ignite with low-powered airguns but the result can be different (no bang). 

  • Exploding targets require a certain minimum velocity to ignite. If the bullet or air rifle pellet does not have enough speed, it might not generate the necessary impact energy to trigger ignition. You can get different results or no ignition by using low-power air rifles or air pistols.

  • When you hit the rim, not the centre of the target, sometimes the target will ignite with different results.(no bang or no igniton,)

  • Storage Conditions: Exploding targets can be sensitive to environmental conditions. Extreme heat, moisture, or exposure to sunlight can affect their stability and may cause them to fail to ignite.

  • Duds: Like any manufactured product, there's always a small chance of getting a defective product (a "dud") that simply doesn't work as intended. This is rare but possible. Please contact us in this case; we will replace the faulty targets for free.

  • Distance and Angle: The angle at which the bullet or projectile strikes the target can also affect ignition. Striking the target at an extreme angle may not provide the necessary impact energy for ignition.
