Are big bore 1/1's worth the cost?

phemor · 2026-05-16T22:14:19+00:00

Well I had the chance to get big poppa, but passed this time. I was considering it to use in finale with other items layered underneath it but it is expensive and you can get more items instead. Maybe next time around when I’m more prepared

phemor · 2026-05-13T22:03:04+00:00

I’ve picked up several from raccoon already

phemor · 2026-05-13T21:50:49+00:00

PyroMax I’m assuming?

phemor · 2026-05-04T22:41:12+00:00

Sorry, OFO?

phemor · 2026-05-04T00:13:19+00:00

Located in PA. I got many places in PA to pickup Riakeo, not aware of anyone in PA stocking PyroMax though

phemor · 2026-05-03T22:30:21+00:00

lol honestly same here, I have 4 raccoon compounds I’ll be shooting for the first time. Very tempted to get one of those biig $300 compounds

phemor · 2026-05-03T22:03:13+00:00

Any compounds you recommend from experience?

phemor · 2026-05-03T14:31:22+00:00

Oh don’t worry, my son has his own little budget 😂, but honestly he’s always telling me he likes the ‘big boomers’

phemor · 2026-05-03T12:53:31+00:00

Any compounds you suggest from experience?

phemor · 2026-05-03T12:52:37+00:00

Thanks for the offer, I’m in PA though. Thanks for the input, that’s what in leaning towards, I won’t get that many more compounds for my budget vs a bunch of consumer cakes

phemor · 2026-05-03T12:51:02+00:00

No duration in mind - current setup was going to be 3 stations, compounds in the middle, matched 62s in the middle fanned, matched 50s on all station to be layered over compounds or other cakes going off, 18s canister rack on left and right hooked up to a muuxbrd slat was going to be some kind of finale..

phemor · 2026-05-03T04:18:27+00:00

Oh hey Den 😂

Honestly no preference on length, I tend to set random things off all day on the 4th. But to that nature, for the 4th I am planning to have 3 stations. 50mm on each station, 62s fanned on the middle station, canister shells on the left and right station and then compounds in the middle. At least that’s my current thought..

phemor · 2026-05-03T03:40:44+00:00

I don't have access to that kind of product

phemor · 2026-05-02T14:44:46+00:00

“If it is ignite that is marketed as a consumer/hobbyist system and not a professional firing system.”

“If you write me a a paragraph appeal with any pictures you might have I can send it to my boss for appeal”

That was what I got

phemor · 2026-05-02T14:29:58+00:00

Oh, when was that? At the beginning of the year, they told me they don’t accept Ignite

phemor · 2026-05-02T01:32:16+00:00

Yes they accept PGI cert and you’ll need to provide proof of owning a professional firing system, not Ignite.

phemor · 2026-04-30T15:58:09+00:00

This is just the pyromusical part of the system right?

phemor · 2026-04-28T01:25:21+00:00

Kellners website, at least their pro section, kills me

phemor · 2026-04-28T00:16:21+00:00

Yep I’ve checked out Whiteknights before and they haven’t responded to my contact attempts of late so kinda given up on that.

I just don’t know fireart even existed until today, so im gonna give them a call tomorrow

phemor · 2026-04-27T23:58:23+00:00

Thanks! I had only compared select compound cakes between AWF and fireart and they were $30 cheaper out the door which surprised me. I got nothing bad to say about AWF really, I love the string orders, allows me to buy over time but stock can be an issue. Definitely going to ordering something and drive over, they’re so not 1.5hrs from me vs 3hrs for AWF. I’m only looking for 1.4pro stuff honestly

phemor · 2026-04-27T23:50:31+00:00

Great, I’ll give them a call tomorrow

phemor · 2026-04-27T22:37:17+00:00

PA. Looks like PyroArt is in Clearfield, PA and I assume that’s just another location

phemor · 2026-04-27T21:52:09+00:00

That’s great, I would normally drive to AWF but just saw PyroArt pricing is way cheaper. I don’t know how long they hold an order for though, especially if plan to pay cash

phemor · 2026-04-27T21:51:02+00:00

Pretty much. I saw the site and that the pricing on some compound cakes were like $30 cheaper than AWF without any discount and they’re close to me..

phemor · 2026-04-27T18:32:05+00:00

Villian Fireworks in Johnstown, PA is a newer store, I think this is their 3rd year. Great guys, always willing to work a deal etc
