Hi Guys,
I don't know if anyone has seen or heard of these. I am looking for some to bring to Tanzania.
They are shotgun shells (look the same as ) that when you shoot them, they go about 20 to 30 yards and set off an M80.
I had some about 15 years ago. Cannot find them again. Thought someone might know where I could get some.
Thanks.
Best,
Phil

Mr. Mom,I don't know what a dragons breath is, assuming it is a more powerful version of the bird bomb. Can you send me a PM with either a phone number or web address for the place you said you saw them.Thanks.Sorry I cannot fix this type Last edited on Thu Dec 22nd, 2005 04:27 PM by PhilLozano

I sure could use a box of those bad boys. The ''yotes'' on my lease hole-up in a dense thicket, 50yd. x 50yds. I bet those critters would come out in the open after a few of those puppies went off in there misdt.

I used to use these back in the 70's when hunting big corn fields for dove and didn't have enough people to keep them flying. They worked really well to flush the birds that would land to feed , sure did save a lot of walking. I haven't used them since those days. I have seen them listed in shotgun news but not in a while.
This place on the web says they have the Bird Bombs
