Average Mortar count

[UniversalPyro]

What is a good average amount of shells shot at a average shoot? also if you add cakes, how many? Also....how many shells average in a finale?

Curious for the ones that shoot for companies....

thanks!!!!!

I would have to say depends on your budget. In the finale I like to send up 100 reloadables with 4 500 gramers and for some reason I always seam to have 4 wild west fast fused in there. I think Its my trademark.....

The length of the display will determine how many shells to shoot. I'm giving my friend a display for his wedding present and he wants to limit it to 10-15 minutes. I am going to shoot 420 shells in all, 300 in the body and 120 in the finale. Half the finale will be color and half salutes. I will start out with a 4 second count and ramp up to a 2 second count or better. A 3 second count would give you a 15 minute show. I might use 1- 200 shot American Thunder Vince cake right before I light the finale. LET THEM HAVE CAKE!

the general rule is 1/4 of your product goes in the finale. hope that helps. also do your budget, the way it usually prices out for consumer is about a dollar per second of show.

Well since this is the Display section, im sure that price jumps up heavily!!!!!lololol..

I was just curious what a average show consists of for the companies that do shows.......
