Adrenaline Research Labs (ARL) is excited to announce the expansion of its explosive target lineup with the release of the Obliterator Series and the brand-new AlphaBlast Rimfire Exploding Target, both debuting at SHOT Show 2026.
"The launch of the Obliterator Series and AlphaBlast target reflects our commitment to expanding ARL's product lineup with solutions that deliver consistent, reliable explosive feedback across more shooting platforms," says J. Curt Stafford, CFO of Adrenaline Research Labs. He goes on to say, "These new products were built to meet clear performance demands, stronger detonation with the Obliterator line and dependable rimfire activation with the AlphaBlast. Each address a specific need within the shooting community."
The new Obliterator Series is engineered for shooters seeking maximum reactive feedback. The line features enhanced formulations designed for stronger, more visible detonation. Available in 4 sizes Ember (5 in. single color), Blaze (6 in. two colors), Inferno (8 in. 3 colors), and Stars & Strikes (8 in. red, white, and blue), the Obliterator lineup is built for unmistakable impact with every shot.
Stafford says, "The Obliterator Series is built for shooters who want maximum reactive performance in a dependable, easy-to-use target." He continues, "These targets and the wide range of color options amplify the shot experience with a harder hit, cleaner detonation, and the kind of reactive feedback shooters have come to expect from ARL."
Developed specifically for rimfire platforms, the new AlphaBlast target delivers reliable explosive performance without the need for center-fire velocities. Ideal for .22 LR and other rimfire rounds, the AlphaBlast provides instant detonation and clear shot confirmation. The targets are intentionally colorless, focusing solely on accuracy-triggered explosive response.
"The AlphaBlast was engineered to fill a gap for rimfire shooters in the explosive target industry and give to them the same reliable explosive feedback without requiring center-fire velocity," says Stafford. "With AlphaBlast, we focused on creating a formulation that consistently detonates with .22 LR and other rimfire rounds while maintaining the same safety and reliability standards as our centerfire targets."
Adrenaline Research Labs will showcase the Obliterator Series, the new AlphaBlast target, and the rest of its explosive product lineup at SHOT Show 2026. Come by booth #40421 to experience the action firsthand.
