[time-nuts] Why .30 cal holes can't be seen at 800 yds...

[Heathkid]

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.
