Amazing she'll John.

Agreed on the amazing shell John! Also received fire crew approval by not touching the ground… comfortably. Thank you for your time and dedication!
Here is a snap shot of John's award winning 16" 3 color change shell from Fall PyroFest!
Congratulations John, it was spectacular.

Is that burning smoke stars or is there some way to make dry paint make those long lines?
Fun picture!!
Wow, probably some of the best product I’ve seen from 76 so far
They are some weird looking mortar tubes. I'm wondering if it's designed to better handle a cato by failing in a way to release some of the energy? Never seen anything like that before.
SKU#?

Next weekend?
Do you have a schedule for next weekend? I'm coming either Friday evening or Saturday but I'm not sure when to show up or what is planned.
I’ll be there …first time
Howdy ! 🤠 What time is the competition on Saturday night
Is that where the loud bombing sound is coming from ? Lol
Learn about black powder rockets. There will be a few classes throughout the event as only a few can participate at a time.

Please get your shell entries in to Chris Roth by Sunday so we can get the mortars we need allocated. If you're not sure if it will be done in time it doesn't hurt to add it. It's easier to subtract mortars than add them

Super secret squirrel BP challenge revealed!
1 CommentComment on Facebook
Three rounds of “ammo” acquired. Had to go to three stores - it’s harder than I thought to find the right size pumpkin.
If you intend to enter shells or rockets onto the competition or builder's showcase, please get your count in to us by the 21st so we can get the equipment set up
5 CommentsComment on Facebook
Will do
I've got a few entries. Sketchy rocket v7 for starters. (60% of the time, it works every time)
Phil, my husband is! I shared with him so he can give you specifics
Where are people learning how to build these things???
Send your list of entries to rothcf@yahoo.com. I’ll make sure that we have guns lined up for you.
For those who have been members of PAT for a long time, you will remember one of our most dedicated members: Ed Elling. Ed would sit out in the field all day wiring up cakes for our enjoyment. He had a great X-Crossed roman Candle setup he did that everyone copied since. Miss you Ed!

Sky Wars is canceled:
"Fellow Pyros,
We regret to inform you that due to severe weather conditions, we must cancel Sky Wars 2024. Our area has already experienced over 5 inches of rain. We are already unable to park any vehicles anywhere on the property, and after consulting with Warren County Emergency Management and the National Weather Service, we are expecting an additional 3 inches of rain on Friday and Saturday.
This decision was not made lightly, but we believe it's the best course of action to ensure everyone's safety and to provide the quality experience you expect from us."

Sorry for not getting this out sooner. I'd like to thank JJ,, Carl Standridge, and James Howard for for helping to get those great displays up and going. I know that was a lot of equipment and a lot of labor. I'd like to thank Chris Roth and Walt of the Shire for handling the builder's showcase. Outstanding job as usual. James White did a great job with the class and thank you Joel for squaring up those stars. Thank you to Robin Eaton and Betty Sainz for all the the behind the scenes work, without it, this wouldn't have happened at all. Id like to shout out former El Presidente Nick Sainz for helping me out. Thank you to the Kovar crew for the wall of fire. Thank you Gregory Hebert for the PA equipment and helping us out there. Shout out to Chris Stasey for handling the group buys and working with the crews on product. And thank you Rex Nelson for hosting us again. I'd also like to congratulate the shooters for those great displays.
I could write a book thanking everyone for their help and enthusiasm. If you're not listed by name, drop me a line so I can square that up and please forgive me as I'm a bit distracted currently.

We had a great PAT Spring Pyrofest and overcame the weather & other challenges. Thinks to all our members for attending with good cheer! Behind the scenes, volunteers did a ton of work to make the event a success. Our thanks: Starting at the top, Emperor Jeremy fielded countless calls & queries and planned out how to provide a complex set of resources & crew assignments. Our host-with-the-most Rex Nelson and Manager Robin of Nelson’s Fireworks prepared & cleaned up for weeks in advance. It’s no accident the store was spotless, the warehouse & field had ample room to work in, and Robin arrived early & stayed Late to accommodate the club. A big thank you to Betty & Nick from Multiforms ( multiforms.com/ ), they brought the gear to take membership payments, make ID’s, and they also produced the sweet PAT merch. If you need logo branded swag or merch, please contact them. Betty ran registration for 2-days straight, a thankless task, she’s a hero. Deep behind the scenes, Ken runs our PAT website, bank account, and assures our financials are 501c3 compliant, thanks Ken! Betty, Robin, Ken, & crew also served lunch daily and Saturday night dinner, wow! The food really helped everyone stay energized all weekend. Special shout out to Julian who smoked all the pork for the Saturday dinner! Builders: Big ups to Chris & Walt for collating all the builder entries and arranging for resources for them beforehand. Walt wrote a ~90 cue Step script so all the builder entries could be shot & judged properly. We can’t thank John enough for teaching folks how to build properly & safely in his class. All our Builders Rock! Heavy gear: Huge thanks to Carl & Steve of Big Boom Pyro for providing the racks and tubes. Flambeaux provided the Cobra gear. Thanks to Greg for the PA system with wireless mics. Displays: Big thanks to all the 4x4 show designers and crews, they were great. The comic relief & flames from GWPyro & co. were much appreciated all weekend. Huge thanks to Phillip & friends, and Josh & friends, for scripting and setting up the 2-large Sat. night displays! They were awesome! A shoutout to James, he spent hours each day solving script issues in Finale 3D & prepping Cobra's for both large display teams. Product: Special thanks to Chris & Beth of North Texas Pyrotechnics (NTP), for providing the 1.3G for the large displays, organizing the Spirit Group Buy, and for being a great resource for PAT Members to purchase wholesale product year round: www.northtexaspyrotechnics.com . Don’t miss attending or crewing their Fall charity event: www.lonestarfireworksfestival.com/ , it’s fantastic. Crew: PAT Events don’t work without members helping build the displays & move product. We offer a deep thank you to those who helped sort, label, mount, lift, carry, drill, wire, & setup displays, and disassemble them late on Sat. night & Sunday morning. We hope to see everyone at the Fall PAT Pyrofest!

Woah
Looked nice, not available yet. Lots of new features!!
Did they mention a price range?
William Dodd I can see it costing 700-1000
This is Nick, I’m really not a fan of this new remote being cellular. Having to maintain a cellular contact just feels like a scam and many shoot sites have shit or no cellular coverage. I got the impression cobra is going to start charging for support as well. Right now their support is amazing and free. But, the subscription model is so addictive to the group. Continuous income for the same stuff they were doing for just buying their product in the past. Plus, the option to make the shit you own not work if you don’t pay the subscription is super common these days. In the keynote at Cobra Con it was a big point that quality is increasing, but also PRICE. Just don’t like the loud point being the price, especially when pushing subscription.
Zach did mention in an interview they were starting to gear the Cobra side more to professional use (hence, greater durability and higher price)and keep the ignite going as the consumer/hobbyist version.

Let us not forget the lone star shell competition.. only rul is the shell must contain 1 star. Not an insert or mini shell

For the 4X4 Competition.
You will be given a 4ftx4ft square in which you can place your 1.4g. nothing can be outside of this square. Only consumer 1.4g with an ex# can be used (nothing home made). must be scripted to music and last between 4min 15sec and 5min 15 sec. the pyro must be secure in that it can't fall over. the method for securing it is upto you, but it will be checked. you make break cakes apart and refuse items as desired. NO 1.4G Proline can be used.

There have been some requests made on some horse trading at the event. If you want to bring some extra chems, equipment, or things that you made to sell (like those nice rocket scoops), I'm for it. You just can't sell or trade the obvious manufactured materials. So if you're looking to trade some rocket tooling, or made some fantastic pyro art or nick naks, or want to part with extra charcoal, feel free.

Good day Fireants. Setting up for the event. If anyone wants to script and setup a 1.3g 5 min display during the event. Submit a script to Jeremy Jandreau. IF you are using your own shells, budget for around $1250 worth for reimbursement. If you need shells, the club will provide (rough estimate) 6-6in shells, 12-5in shells, 60-4in shells, 72-3 in shells, and will see about 2.5in salutes. 1.4g will not be provided in this, but you may add it as you see fit.

Can't wait to see what everyone has made.
I was wondering when the 4x4 is and how many competitors do we have ?

Do we have or purchase from Riakeo Happy Family Fireworks Mfg.Co.,Ltd ? Is there a distributor in TX that handles this line?
Good news. Chris Stacey is running the spirit of 76 group buy and I'm working on one with pyroland. I'll get in touch with Spirit and follow up on their answer, but pyroland has also given members the green light to buy pro line without the need of licenses. Membership with PAT is acceptable IAW with the law and policy.

Info on Pyroland list?
Info
When will we get the price sheets
Also do we now how many 4x4 boards are there going to be.
Group Buy is up and running. Information can be found on the forum on the PAT website.
I'll probably put up the group buy for igniters on the PAT forum. I'll probably also put up some 1.4pro/consumer if anyone wants to hop on my order and I'll bring it up to pyrofest if any club members are interested.
When do we get to see pyrolands list
I don’t see any lists on website anyone send a link please
Pyroland list will be a couple weeks as they're not finished with 2024 pricing

Doesn't this happen like every couple months ?
So in thirty minutes they didn't see anyone shooting the fireworks? Unless they have unlimited visco. Cracker Jack police work LAPD!
30 mins? Multiple firing positions and nobody knows anything?
My apologies, I thought I had posted already. Spring pyrofest is set for April 26th-28th at Nelson's fireworks in Caddo Mills, TX

TEXAS! #FullSend #LoneStars
I’m your huckleberry
See yall there. I'll be posting a group buy for igniters about a month prior to pyrofest, maybe earlier.
Dirt Brigante Matthew Hernandez Brandon Hernandez let's go.. Can u give us more info.
Is Saturday the big night?? Just for us who like to watch 😊
Who’s producing displays?
Also wanted to mention that I'll be coordinating a pre-order buy for single shot racks. Any questions you can reach me via messenger or reply to this comment.
If you want to be the 2nd 5 minute display at spring pyrofest, submit your script and any audio to PAT. I'll figure out what the donated shell count will be and list that. The donated shells will not be a limit, you can add to it, but that isn't required and doesn't necessarily add to your chances. Sometimes less is more and creative use of black sky can be of value. Also, upto 3 large fuel mines will be donated.
This is open to any club member/members.
An approximate donated shell count to follow, but feel free to start scripting now as shell counts and types can be adjusted/tuned.
Finale 3d format is preferred, but cobra show creator works as well.

I'd really like to do a show, but my equipment is limited. Is there any chance for the club to provide guns/comet racks? Also is there a deadline for the submission?

Is this the 4x4
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and is gearing up for a happy new year.
Once the holidays wind down, there will be some information drops on the spring pyrofest event.
Also, if you're interested in judging competition, DM Jeremy Jandreau.
I'd like to look at giving members the ability to sell/trade materials, chems, crafted items, etc. The difficulty will lay in finding a way to allow vending that doesn't prohibit those members involvement from the activities that they wish to perform. Open to suggestions on that.
Also, by the way of Vote, the club has ruled for 3 5min 1.3 displays instead of 1 15min display. I've selected those who will do the 1st and 3rd displays. There will be a contest to determine who will do the second display. Details for that will be posted tomorrow.
Have a great weekend and long live the Emporer.
