How do you like the Excalibur packs?

I usually head over to indiana to visit family and get the good fireworks while i'm down there. I always wanted to try the Excalibur but I decide to spread my money across more items instead of one expensive thing. Is it worth the price? I try to only spend like $100-150.

We are only allowed the cheap little fountains for consumer use in WV. I had the cops over maybe 6 years back from letting off mortars on the 4th. Neighbors called them and said we were shooting big guns in the middle of town. Cop sneaked into the backyard weapon drawn! I was still in middle school at the time haha!

got to love fireworks!! nice spread you have there jeff!! got some the other day and still haven't got anything to big because I live in the city and don't like the idea of pissing the neighbors off with mortar after mortar but I did pick up some mini mortars because my kids love fireworks, and of course have to get some bottle rockets because there simple and fun. also made a video of me using a laser to light one!!

Those are some puny firecracker! :p

Here in the PH you can buy some pretty nasty crackers. These can easily blow your ass off.

Yes those are called triangle cracker and they are actually the best shape for a firecracker of any size because of the way they expand before the casing actually ruptures and you hear the sound !

I have made many of them myself over the years and have made many strings of 100 each of 1.5 inch on a side crackers and they are my favorite crackers.

I have made ones just like what the man in your picture is holding right here in the states in Iowa during convention so PH has nothing on the USA :D

Hey you guys in PH ever launch a 36" aerial shell I have helped launch one in Pennsylvania in 1994 it required 24 pounds of black powder in the bottom
of the mortar to lift the shell to an altitude of 1/2 mile where it displayed out to a diameter of 1/4 mile, it was a total success and was built by one man
and it took him almost one year to make the shell.

We are holding our convention in Pennsylvania this year again and my self and RawPawl from LPF will both be attending, I encourage any one with pyro
in there heart to come and attend the Boom and Blast convention in Pennsylvania August 10th-16th, it will be a vacation you will never forget :D

click here> PGI (Pyrotechnics Guild International)

My big shell trumps you triangle cracker as it can easly blow off 10 peoples asses :crackup:



In the STATES we can make big fire balls at will :D


And launch some of the biggest comets on the planet, ever see 8" comets at your fireworks displays :D


We make all types of aerial shells :D







We hold the world record as recorded in the Guinness book of world records for lighting 9.5 million firecrackers with one match :D
When this picture was taken there is only about 1/8 of the total crackers visible.


Can you say Gerindola :D


Ever been out on the rocket line at midnight :D


Need some pyro equipment :D


Salute :D

As usual I will be busy setting things up and then firing the show so I am unable to operate a camera, last year some one said they would take pictures for me and it didn't happen, maybe this year it will ;)
