AlphaCharge is a reactive centerfire rifle target consisting of two components: white Blast Beads and the QuickFuse additive packet. Upon mixing, the target becomes strongly reactive to high-velocity projectiles. When used according to directions, AlphaCharge adds excitement and enhances the target shooting experience.

AlphaCharge is safe and easy to use. Read and follow all directions and warnings prior to use. First, remove the lid and QuickFuse additive packet from the jar of Blast Beads. Second, open the QuickFuse additive packet and empty the contents back into the Blast Beads jar. Lastly, replace the lid and gently shake until the entire jar appears silver in color. Your AlphaCharge target is now armed. Ensure target is at minimum safe distance for target size. To reliably detonate, a projectile moving at 2200 feet per second (impact velocity) from a centerfire rifle is recommended. AlphaCharge will not be detonated by shotgun, .22 caliber, or handgun ammunition.

Material is not harmful to soil. Do not contaminate waterways.
