Hi all.
I got my PS90 about a month ago and finally got to shoot it. I've been waiting to get it accessorized and for an order of Tannerite exploding targets to come in.

We shot about 250 rounds in the back yard of a co-worker's home out in the country. I first broke the barrel in by shooting one round, cleaning, a couple more rounds, cleaning, well you get the idea. My co-worker's wife was there as was his two boys and 3 of their friends. The kids were all about 13. We all (except the wife) took turns shooting.
I paced the target area at about 43 yards. The sight seemed to be about dead on. I didn't adjust the sight at all. To check the sight in I used 8 inch targets. The target was in the shade, which didn't help matters. I have an illuminator for the front sight collector using a red Photon Freedom keychain light. This light has an adjustable brightness and really helped brighten up the reticle. The circle dot reticle obscured most the target. I would think a crosshair sight would be better. My best group from a rest was about 3 inches. Most were about 5 inches. I blame me more than the rifle.
Shooting the Tannerite was a hoot! I got a case of the 1/2 pound bottles. Shooting one got uncontrollable laughter from everyone. My cheeks started to hurt from grinning so much. Definately worth the money ($89 for 20 bottles). The temperature was 65-70 degrees and 32% humidity according to Yahoo weather. We were shooting SS195LF. I had some SS197SR, but we didn't shoot that.
I made a few mistakes during the shoot. I'm a single gun nut, so I got caught up in the moment. We supervised the kids closely and they all acted responsibly. I didn't expect all the kids to be there. I made sure they all had ears, but I should have made sure they all had eye protection too. I wear glasses myself, so I take eye protection for granted. I should have had the "extra" kids call their parents and ask permission to participate first. One of the kid's Mom called and she wasn't pleased that her daughter was shooting. We didn't dare mention the Tannerite.
If you are going to shoot Tannerite make sure to inform anyone that could possibly be involved and make sure everyone is cool with it. If you can, get them to watch the DVD that comes with the Tannerite. It shows that you can shoot it with a .22 or 9mm or take a butane torch to it and it won't go off. The co-worker's father in law came to visit and got real uptight about us shooting the Tannerite and I don't blame him.
