4 inch shells on the 4th! (2009)

Finally what I've been working for and looking forward to for like 6 months, the 4th of July. I had 4 homemade aerial shells, but I fired one the night before just because I was too anxious. Shells were all homemade of course, except the fuse. I think all went perfectly, the last shell beat anything else that night :D but the camera seems to be out of focus and not catching it... oh yeah these were my first 4 inch shells.

nice shells! wats the composition for the stars in the last shell?

[TyrantBB]

@gothbro111 Willow Diadem

Potassium nitrate 31

Sulfur 11

Charcoal 39

Titanium spherical 3

Ferrotitanium (40-325 mesh) 5

Ferrotitanium (30-60 mesh) 4

Dextrin 7

However in mine I replaced all 3 types of titanium with just granular ferrotitanium... 100 mesh something i dont remember, and give it like 2 weeks to dry or you won't get that good effect

@kerzwhile Thanks, you can kinda make out what it looked like, but the camera was off focus... I got an exact repeat of that shell coming up in a week for this year's 4th and I'll have the camera on focus this time :)
