hand shoot a show

[thump junkie]

Hoe this helps. When we shoot a show . We will take a gum band and slide it over the gun to hold the fuse in the same place . This takes care of two problems. First it keeps it from bouncing around if its windy ,also helps if there is a lot of smoke. And second by banding the fuse it helps in keeping the safety caps on so you don't have extra stuff go off by accident.

Yea, We did this at a show a few years ago. Then you start to realize it takes too long. Good idea for smaller shows regardless.

[thump junkie]

We do this with every show. We treat this as a safety issue.

Hey Thump, this might be a dumb question, but what's a gum band?

1.This slang for rubber bands in Pittsburgh speak, not to be confused with bubble gum bands, which are singing groups without instrumental accompaniment.

Dave, do you mean to tell me that others may also not know what Iron City beer is? :-)

[displayfireworks1]

They may not know. LOL Of course it was a beer that was made is Pittsburgh, Pa. They still call it Iron City Beer but now it is made in Latrobe Pa.. That dam Coors Light put them out of business in Pittsburgh. Coors bombed the city of Pittsburgh with pretty girls going from bar to bar to get everyone to drink Coors Light. Then they started running commercials and it was slowly over. You can hear them talk about it a little towards the end of this commercial. Thats why I get mad when I see Coors Light at an event. I mentioned it in one of my videos. I remember saying it but can't remember the title of the video.
