Here's a Strange One
Just when I thought I had seen everything the CBS evening news does a story on a man with an obsession for ANVILS!
Shows his shop and his collection even footage of him making small wooden models.
Then we move on to "Shooting Anvils"!! Seems we have a long history of this hobby in the U.S.A. I will not describe this hobby, those interested can do a search and I am sure you will find it.
Just cant wait til the CPSC and NFPA get wind of this one
When I die, I want to be enbalmed with black powder and detonated over a nude beach!

Soon, anvils will be regulated as well. You'll need a permit for one!! Consumer anvils, and display anvils, multishot anvils, crackling anvils will all hit the market, maybe a group buy in the future

Re: Here's a Strange One
Then there will be a group of guys that trades the overloaded anvils.
Re: Here's a Strange One
Guys,
Shooting anvils has been an activity that has been around in this country since anvils were widely used (1800's or before). They even do this at some pyro clubs. CPSC has nothing to do with it since it's not a consumer product in its explosive form and it would likely be protected from ATF regulation as a historical reenactment or recreational use like cannon shooting and other Black Powder arms used in recreation.

If you look through the full PGI safety pamphlet you will find setbacks for anvil shooting.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: Here's a Strange One
What are the transportation restrictions on anvils? Do you need a permit, or can you just throw it in the back or your truck and hope for the best?
Since this is in the safety forum, one has to ponder, other than safety glasses and an umbrella (as in Wile E. Coyote's Acme heavy-duty style), what other safety equipment is required? A flashing "Moron at Work" sign??
funny stuff.
Re: Here's a Strange One
I noticed he violated the #1 rule of anvil shooting by having his head over the projectile while lighting
Re: Here's a Strange One
I agree that is some funny stff
