Sonic Boom Exploding Rifle Target 1/2lb

The Sonic Boom Exploding Rifle Target 1/2lb is a specialized training tool designed for shooters who demand immediate, audible feedback on target hits. Built by Jerent Enterprises, this reactive target serves law enforcement, military personnel, and serious civilian marksmen conducting live-fire drills where visual confirmation alone falls short. The exploding action provides confirmation downrange without requiring a cease-fire to inspect targets, accelerating training cycles and maintaining shooter focus on fundamentals.

This half-pound reactive target employs a percussion-sensitive composition that detonates on rifle bullet impact, producing a distinctive sonic signature and visible burst. The design eliminates the need for shooters to walk downrange between strings, reducing training time and equipment handling. Compact at 2.85 × 2.75 × 3.2 inches and weighing just 0.53 pounds, the Sonic Boom target is portable enough for field training, mobile ranges, or tactical courses while maintaining structural integrity across multiple firing positions and environmental conditions typical of outdoor ranges.

Law enforcement firearms instructors and military combat arms coaches rely on exploding targets to validate shot placement during high-stress drills and transition training where audible feedback sharpens shooter decision-making. The Sonic Boom 1/2lb format suits intermediate to long-range rifle work and scenarios requiring rapid target engagement without backstop inspection. These targets pair well with steel frame construction or impact-rated stands and work across all standard rifle calibers, making them ideal for qualification courses, defensive shooting schools, and tactical training operations where accountability and training efficiency are paramount.
