That's beautiful music El Caz - Aahhhhh, the sweet sounds of spring (well, getting closer anyway), it has warmed up here in Il. too, almost all the snow is gone.

Thanks for compliments on the video, as always Dom has done the right thing by providing a great product and awesome service at more then a far price. Dom the reverse pull worked great!  ;) I'll try to post some more videos firing golf balls and larger charged blanks.

Hunter, you could paste those pics on the 'How to photograph fire and smoke' thread, to serve as the gold standard; lookin' good!
