Gryphon Energetics was founded in 2014 to develop new and novel explosives for the Canadian market. Beginning with the first-ever binary exploding target manufactured in Canada which delivered more concussion and sound than existing products, Gryphon quickly went from part-time cottage industry to full-time corporation to keep up with demand. As development continued the line was rebranded as THUNDERSHOT® in early 2015 with THUNDERSHOT® Rimfire being introduced the following year. THUNDERSHOT® has remained Canada’s #1 selling exploding target brand and cemented our position in the marketplace.
