Gender Reveal Shooting Target location?

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

 

The wife and I would like to shoot one of those powder filled targets (non-terranite) as a gender reveal. We would like to record the event. The issue is, we would need to do this outdoors (no indoor gun ranges). Anyone know of a park or location that we would be able to use to accomplish this? We would like to do it soon. We don’t want to break any laws. Just wondering if anyone has done this before in Jersey and how. Thank you. 

Example of the target:

Thanks again

Congrats!

And, no pressure of course, try not to have the chalk cloud reveal the gender when the unscathed clay bird hits the ground.

Wow, have times changed...

In the old days, we just called our family on the phone to tell them what we were having...

@Njpigeon13 I’ll bring the thrower and the shotgun if you’re without. I’m sure we could get @Scorpio64 to make some colored chaulk clays

I can do blue, and I can do orange, but I don't think I can do pink.  Besides, I think the OP wants a big BIG Yuge showy puff of powder, not my anemic sorta works flash clays.  I think chalk in balloons would work better.  The Clinton rifle range would be the place for that.

I dunno if chalk can provide the flashy display OP is looking for.  Chalk is also kinda heavy too, so here's what I'm thinking.  A) You don't want the op looking like a fool so the gag has to be fool proof. B) whatever gag is contrived, it has to go off without a hitch.C) A big display using chalk is only possible with explosives.

Option 1) If the OP wants to use balloons, then fill the balloons with glitter, lots of glitter.  Glitter is very light.  Oh, and also put helium in the balloons.  Just to make sure they all go pop, have three shooters. Remote release would be prudent.

Option 2) I saw this and it was kinda cute but maybe not cute if the OP or wife are rabid anti hunting.  Fill balloon with appropriate colored paint and pin to a board.  write the words doe or buck on the board.  Shoot balloon.  I saw this one on pintrest so I can't claim it as my idea.

Option 3) Just tell the freaking people and have a nice pink or blue cake.  wtf is a gender reveal anyway?  When My child was born, I saw a tallywhacker..THAT'S a gender reveal.

How much you wanna bet that in a few years the gender reveal party won’t be until the child decides what gender they feel like they should be. It’ll be more like a gender choice announcement party.

Hey everyone,

Just want to say thank you very much for reaching out and giving me options and knowledge on the topic. We really appreciated it. I’ve found secret option 4... contacted my cousins husband. They live out in PA and have a farm with a lot of land. He said no problems shooting there. So we’re going the tannerite way. Nice explosion with powder. 

Thanks again to all!

Hahaha you got it... sometime in August 

Congrats. My wife is due in September and we did a cake with colored filling. I would have much rather went the tannerite route. Can't wait to see the video. Make sure you stay back waaaaaay back.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
