Pyrotechnic Artists of Texas - Spring Event

Caddo Mills – May 17-19, 2013

Continuing to return to our roots, the events of 2013 are focused on interaction between the club members, allowing for more sharing experiences and knowledge.

We are planning sessions in:

Mine Building

Shell Building

Set Pieces 

Firing Systems

Mortars/Guns

1.4G (C) show 1.3G (B) show*

* 1.3G (B) sign offs will be available for those who participate in safety, matching, setup, shoot, teardown, and cleanup.

The agenda for Caddo Mills 3-day Event will be:

Friday: The 1.4G (C) product will be pre-fused during the evening for use on Saturday. There will be  Open Shooting on Friday between 4:00pm - 11:00pm, with no salutes after 10:00pm.

Saturday: Safety class starts day at 10 AM, then everyone goes into areas they are most interested in. Mines, set pieces, rockets, and other builds will be done during the day. The 1.4G (C) and 1.3G (B) product shows will be wired and configured during the day. There will be a PAT directed Display ignited at approximately 9:00pm. There will be Open Shooting only from 4:00pm – 11:00pm on Saturday, with no salutes to be ignited after 10:00pm.

Sunday: Clean up.

Note: There will be no extremely high decibel shooting allowed at this event. This is due to concern for the neighborhood, which has increased in density around the location, and from the direction of the Permit Holder and Fire Marshall. Please check with the PAT Officers on-site if you have questions about your particular product in this regard.

The 1.4G (C) and 1.3G (B) shows will be sized according to attendance and participation, in order to not sacrifice time for other areas of interest.

PAT will be providing catered lunch and dinner on Saturday and will ask members to donate to the club to help defray the cost. PAT will also supply water and soda’s during the event.

If there is something you want to present or teach, or something you want to learn more about and we haven’t addressed it here, bring it up on PATmail, send to the e-mail addresses listed here:
