And that is why lawyers have taken over the world - fear of the unknown. Bill Hawkins

I wasn't giving legal advice... just pointing out one can purchase the targets (not make them). Be legal and obey all laws... if you have to purchase through someone with a FFL make sure the transfer is legal (or even possible) and be responsible. Good advice Bob. But this did start out as a "timing" project thread. I just wanted to explain IF one can legally purchase these, they are available. I do not and did not suggest in any way that anyone makes explosives or do anything illegal. If someone is going to use these, I hope they have the smarts to know and understand the laws applicable to them. Always read and understand your local laws regarding purchase, ownership, and use of anything. I am not giving legal advice on anything. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Darlington" <rdarling...@gmail.com> To: "Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement" <time-nuts@febo.com> Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2010 1:58 PM Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Why .30 cal holes can't be seen at 800 yds... > Be careful about giving legal advice.
