    Does anyone know if it is legal to bring in exploding targets from the North or the UK.

    Had an idea to add one to random clays at different stands and if it was hit when thrown the shooter would get a spot prize .... just thought it might add some excitement to proceedings !!!

    Really don't know, but from reading their site it is a firework that causes it to "explode" and as fireworks are illegal it might be a no no.

    Be very careful before making any purchase.

    As said the "exploding" part and the fact they use fireworks would definitely raise a red flag.

    They are beginning to ban them in areas of the US where they have started brush fires!

    I tried that with some flash targets I had, but they were a different weight so they flew totally different to all the other clays in the trap. I'd imagine these exploding ones would too. Kind of gives the game away.
