On the aerial tubes be absolutely sure that they are blocked with a concrete block or rock so that there is no way that they can tip over during firing.

Shelton offers more than 100 kinds of aerial tubes.

On aerial rockets, the use of PVC pipe can serve as a launch device and has to be anchored so that it cannot tip over during the firing. This can be done by placing it in heavy sand, or a bucket of sand with its launch heading just the direction that you desire.

Shelton’s offers more than 50 kinds of rockets.

On aerial multi-firers, using a concrete block would prevent them from accidentally turning over and shooting at your crowd.

Prior to dark on your shooting date, look at each item you are going to be using in your show and be sure where the fuse is located so you don’t have to fumble around in the dark trying to find it. We recommend having the fuses all turned in the same direction.
