Read my reply again. RIF. I said commercial fireworks, I never mentioned high-end display companies and hobbyist Guilds and neither did you. :roll: You're referring to one-off special shells which are not typical in the majority of fireworks displays so your example was poor at best.

OK. Don't want to argue the point too much. If there was just one firework that went that high it would prove the point. As it is, there are hundreds throughout the year. I did not say they were or were not commercial in my original post but the fact is, the last one we shot was commercial. You seem to want to dispute something but I'm not sure what it is. We, in the US, shoot fireworks all the time that exceed the 1200 meter height. These are fully licensed and permitted fireworks. What is there to argue about? I won't post any more responses so this doesn't destroy the intent of the OP.
