Like to see what people got or are putting together for your show this year



Well, for my July 1st show my tally is in.

315 Reloadable's 240 of which are canister shells and 75 ball shells

140 Cakes. Which is a mix of 200G and 500G


I bought about 225 more mortars in the last month. If I get the racks built in time I will be upping the Reloadable count. Using some HD Shells and Pro Shells

I am doing a roman candle barrage made of as many as I can fit into a 5 gallon bucket, followed by 48 shells all neon, while those are going off I will light some smaller 200G cakes to fill the lower portion of the sky and then 5 500G cakes with varied blue and red effects for my finale.

You need the B license and you could do some serious stuff with that budget.

I agree!!!!! Just some salutes to mix in would make it ten fold better.

Yeah.... I also agree... I have a small show this memorial day weekend, but due to space constraints I am only doing some fountains and strobes. So, we will see how it goes

I will be doing a show memorial weekend...2.5 to 5 inch shells with lots of class b cakes. And firing system to try also. Should be a great time.

What system did ya get? I ended up ordering another 32 cue system from Quantum. So, I have now 3 - 32 cue systems and 2 - 12 cue individual module systems. I just got done making up 3 battery packs for the 32 cue systems. 2 12V 7 AH SLA batteries in series to give me a better power source. When charged the battery pack reads 26.3 volts. Which system is rated for 6V - 27V. Tested out with the battery pack and works AWESOME even with consumer igniters

I got the cobra system with (4) modules. 18x4...should be great...i think.

Pyro Nation
05-18-2011, 08:56 PM
72 Cues. Yeah..that should work. I would love to get the cobra system, but I weighed options of more fireworks or cobra system. Well, we know how that went..lol

I always want to inspect my fireworks just in case I need to repair anything before putting them in storage until July 4th. That's a perfect time to line it all up for picture time. :P

I have a list of my reloadable's this year..

Excaliburs - no need for any explanation here

Blue Steel - canister shell i am trying out for the first time

HD Shells from Big - first time using

Pro Shells from Big - first time using

Black Mamba - used before and thought they had a great break and report

Bigs Neon X Shells - first time using

Red, WHite, Blue Canister Shells from Big - first time using



Considering buying some Black Night Canister's and Sir Lancelot to try out. but undecided yet.. Any thoughts?

Also using some festival balls since they only go like 60 or 70 feet in the air for filler

Sir lancelots are the same shell as excalibur just less in the package. try weapons of Beowulf. or rambo Kids....

well cali's not the best place for fireworks, im going to missouri to put on a show. in light of that I dont have any fireworks yet. I've been in contact with a wholesale missouri store, he's got some left-over "slots o' luck" shells from years past. They're $5 a piece, but worth it. they're class b salutes that accidentally got labeled as c and were sold as such. :D

Thanks pyroliffic. I'm just under the $1,000 mark, barely. I don't think that's too bad for what all I have although I'm sure I could do a little better buying wholesale.

Pyro Nation
06-14-2011, 12:00 AM
Not bad at all... Yeah.. wholesale is the way to go.. Most people will say that, though sometime I dont do wholesale for the simple fact for more variety... Depends on the show.. I do a few small shows every year and a few big shows... Small shows are like 30 cakes, maybe some fountains, and 30 -40 shells... I usually just spend $500 on retail for them... Really prefer not to have fireworks sitting around all year... If I had the room I would by wholesale and just store them...

Hey, Summit, if your pyro show is half as good as your video production & editing skills, it will be awesome! Great job on the video!!!! A+++ But---you really should look into wholesale for next year--if you have a few friends, you could do a group buy [another reason to join a pyro club] & split up the cases. More product & variety that way & MUCH better pricing.

Thank you. I'm glad everyone is enjoying my video. My pyro shows usually turn out pretty good too. They get bigger each year and I'll most likely be looking into wholesale soon. It would be nice to join a club and shoot with other enthusiasts but I'm not aware of any in or near NE Ohio. And I'm not afraid to drive so if you know of any good clubs let me know.

Nice video but you look like a new guy when you buy from Phantom. You have that freshly raped look going on. Your in northeast Ohio the world is your oyster around there. Wfboom, Kneppy's, American Fireworks, even Kellners will do you better. Clubs to join in the region would be the PPA and the WNYPA. You will enjoy wholesale pricing plus discounts and much more.
