Doug Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Doing our normal July 3rd show. Still grandfathered in to shoot and need to shoot at least one show a year. Hopefully that's the only show this year. Been doing this show for over 35 years. Just don't have the interest anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Used to really enjoy them. But life has changed my reaction to some of the percussion . The one f.o.b would be mortered the whistling noises sound just like them coming down. I'll hangout with my dog working on equipment quite and calming.

My neighbors say they have to give their dogs anti-anxiety meds when I do my fireworks. But they don't mind and usually end up watching them. I really do hate upsetting the nearby dogs...it doesn't seem to bother my own dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy we usually buy from said that, of the 3 containers he ordered, he only received 1 of them. The rest.....he said he has no idea.

Just got some 3 and 4 inch shells,... personally like the cakes better with the multi-effects, real crowd pleasers.....but these will be nice mid-show and ending for larger breaks. still waiting on phone call to check out containers. Probably only a day or 2 notice and most likely the week right before the 4th. 3 hours ago, racer254 said: I would really like to know how this works for you.

There is a nice video about it and the show setup seems cool. Seems like it would be pretty good for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member ViperGTS/Z1 Posted June 18, 2023 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 18, 2023 Just made a few oversized firecrackers....200 g of flash. Wanted to make these aerials but just don't have the time and too lazy to ball mill a batch of black powder for lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely can be dangerous, I try to be as safe as possible. Have seen cakes catastrophically blow up before. I always make sure to keep a good distance and hose nearby. Lighting electronically from afar will be nice this year. I got some pretty big shit this year and also some huge whistling strobe rockets which can be very unpredictable. Should be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Sister in law has a friend who's daughter is a walking shit show. Early 20s, drug addict, dirtbag boyfriends and a short life of bad choices. Last weekend, all fucked up, someone blew up something right in her face. Punctured both ear drums, fractured her cheek bones, orbital sockets, and somehow dislocated her knee. Good times. smh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have a lot of respect and pretty safe when doing these. Fired everything electronically from a distance this year.......very safe and actually got to watch the show with 1 push of button on phone instead of running around with a lighter.... Very small portion of the show I believe this cake was Sentinel. 20230704_213457.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
