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 Johns 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#?

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 ... See MoreSee Less

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."
