[TheForge] Anvil Shoot

[rhrocker at hilconet.com]

Ok, just a quick thought from a South Texas.  I love the shoots, but have never seen one in 
person.  Admittedly, some of the videos I've seen were scarry!  However I think if it is handled 
properly then I sure don't have a problem with it.  It should be done by an expert of some sort, 
fire department personal (they do our firecracker displays) or someone with some explosive 
experience.  The main idea is to be careful while setting up and shooting, so a 5+ minute fuse, and 
no one within 250 feet (or whatever a safe distance is) might would work.  That's for the safely 
issue, but the liability and all that, I dunno.
