    Want to clarify what I meant regarding the shoot site as I think it came out a little convoluted.

    It is an ocean beach, the beach is "straight" for all intents and purposes. If you are at the...

    Failure rate of consumer shells/cakes?

    I’ve been shooting for a little over a decade now. Historically my shows are maybe 20-30 cakes and 3-4 MCR’s. This year things have escalated quite a bit, 3 shows, something like 400 cakes, a...

    Thanks! I can’t imagine doing the shows I’m doing this year without this setup. Or at least without getting the sponsors to shell out the money for a cobra system. I think I may be doing that next...

    I largely agree with you. The only caveat for me is I think there is something "artistic" about punctuating the end of a finale with a good solid salute barrage. We can emulate this sending tons of...

    Bilusocn Slats / Module Shunting

    Something about the bilusocn that always bothered me was the difficulty in shunting your modules once you wire in the cues.
    IMO makes it very unsafe to do the cue wiring prior to shows.
    I...

    I've got a few NOABS with no crunch. Thinking I may just go ahead and match to the fuses and accept the delays. Stuffing a bunch of fast fuse in under the ball shell seems like it could possibly...

    First E-Fire Show, many lessons learned

    All in all, very successful year. At least as far as the crowd is concerned anyways.

    This was a big year for me. Was my largest budget yet, and first time E-Firing.

    I had a little over 100...

    I have poked and prelabeled all my cakes. Made bricks of 3x/4x cakes wherever possible to make setup easier if it correlates to a module.
