Not sure if this is the right place for this so mods feel free move
I have been using talon for years and had found them pretty reliable. Some years back I got a bad batch but since they have been fine. I simply buzz them and if I have continuity I would go ahead and use them. Worked well until this year. Seem another bad batch this time they fail after the fuse is inserted. The issue took out better than half our show. Really sucks when you only shoot 1 or 2 times a year.
We normally would get a couple out of say 50 talons that didn’t show continuity so we would discard them and move on. We considered this acceptable as long as we were confident the rest would work properly. Is this about the same for all talon users?
After this year we are seriously looking to moving to either ematch or mjg igniters.
Out of talons, mjg igniters or ematch would you guys consider the most reliable and what would you consider an acceptable amount of bad talons/matches in a box?
Oh yeah if it matters we have always bought or talons from what we considered reliable sources not random china or ebay sites. We are also not planning on inserting matches into lift charges.
Thanks for any input
