I really enjoyed the thunder mug design and i think i shot it the most last year being so simple and portable but still has a decent bang for what it is i went with 3 this year. 2 for each hand and one with a foot trigger!
Ive shot one of the new ones 5 times now me and my nephew shot a few today got about 150 yards straight up with a tennis ball he got a kick out of em. Wasnt that interested last year
I also found a little rubber ball for the big one cant wait to try it with a ball. I normally just use a blast dist for the big one but hope to try a ball if the hot flame doesnt cook a hole in it.
I bought 3 pounds of carbide last year, gave about 3/4 of a pound away had about 1/2 a pound left over from the second cannon pound the third is little rocks. Ordered my third pound of cannon grade (fine) this year.
I found out something i overlooked last year, lukewarm water is the key to consistant blasts. I used ice cold water a few times last year and didnt understand why i had issues. Well now it makes sense.
