Recommendations for safe blank cartridge shooting

Firecracker shooting is a firmly established custom that excites many people. In Bavaria alone, over 700 clubs with around 10,000 active members maintain this tradition, which dates back to the 14th/15th cen- tury. From warding off demons and spirits to accompanying special occasions and major festivals: firecracker shooting is a living tradition in Bavaria. Our firecracker shooters uphold this tradition with great care. This is because handling explosives involves great responsibility. Explosives law therefore places high demands on the suitability, reliability, and expertise of these individuals. The aim is to protect people, the environment, and property, as well as accidents or misuse.
