We are not serious All the time. Not everything is a research project. Sometimes a guy just wants to have fun! This short clip is what we do to relax. And that doesn't mean we get sloppy with safety, but it means that no notebooks come out, no chronographs are in evidence and no one is insisting on a perfect camera angle. This practice and fun shoot really came in handy for last year's 4th of July in Gary's neighborhood. He has some real competition from a family 5 houses to the north.
Our practice session helped us load fire and clean in the dark. Gary's shells functioned almost perfectly. Unfortunately for the competition, Gary is quite adept at cutting his fuses long enough to allow the mini-shell reach their battery. There was a great deal of shouting and alarming squeals coming out of the dark from a northerly direction. What fun!
