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

10 slots open for this class. It starts on Friday, Nov 8th at 10am.

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!

PAT has been around long enough that we may want to create an In Memoriam page. Other members who passed I can think of are Larry Crump and Spider'h Draves. Anyone else we need to consider?

I copied Ed’s candle setup 😁. We worked together in the field a few times and he contributed to the newsletter too. Good memories!

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."
