Saturday April 17^th 2010 Class:
This class is required for those intending to take the Missouri and other state certification exams. NFPA 1123 rules and regs will be reviewed, safety will be extensively covered, and you will be tested on the material. (If you pass you get a nice looking certificate!)
We plan an extra special event this year with a massive domestic shell product demonstration, a big fire one finale, lots of hands on training, and a new series of safety tests where we will fire special safety test shells from 3" to 6" demonstrating how far a shell will travel if fired from a rack laying on its side! The class will become part of an industry safety test report and this will prove to be very interesting. Lots more to be revealed in regards to our class.
The charge for the course is $40.00 (prepayment is required).
Need directions to our location? The class will be held at our shop north of Tin Town, MO, CLICK HERE for directions.

April 26th 2008 Tin Town Missouri Class:

To: Aaron Mayfield
Subject: 2008 Shooters Certification Class

At this time I would like to say that your Shooters class held on 4/26/08 was the best course that I have attended. Jack and yourself did a outstanding job in the presentation of the morning class work. The afternoon hands on training was the best, I believe that the best training is hands on and you did show that Saturday. I know I did learn a few things , you never know everything in the business and you always have room to learn more. I have been in the fireworks field for over 40 years and I am still learning. I know the 5 others people that I had attend your class with came away with a wealth of knowledge and they where very happy that they attended.

Again many thanks go out to you, Jack and Dusty for an outstanding course.

April 19th 2008 Missouri City Texas Class:

To Aaron, Jack, Trevor and all the folks who helped out at Missouri City:

On behalf of OtherWorld Productions, I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who made the Missouri City shooters school a success!

In our opinion, this is exactly what we envision a shooters school should be. We brought a new crew member with us to get a feel of what is involved in setting up a shoot, and were very impressed that he was able to experience and learn with "hands on" training. Sebastian and I have been to shooters schools with other companies that pale in comparison to the quality and caliber of your training day.

We firmly believe that you can never stop learning, and providing this type of atmosphere to network, compare, and share was tremendously satisfying to us. We felt so confident in the caliber and atmosphere of training, that many times throughout the day we were able to leave our new crew member and go network with other seasoned shooters, knowing that our "newbie" was actually receiving the hands on instruction he needed.

The price of admission is a small one to pay considering the fact that we now have a crew member who will arrive at his first shoot for our company armed with the basic skills that take up so much precious time when you are setting up a complicated show.

Kudos AMPyro! OtherWorld Productions is looking forward to working with you and the members of your staff who worked so hard yesterday to make this shooter's school enjoyable, educational, and a valuable networking venue.

Send em high, and light up the sky!

I enjoyed the class and the demo. Thanks for coming all the way down here, and thanks for broadening my perspective on the potential level of choreography. I have only worked for one company, doing the same 2 shows every year and had not seen a show "put together" rather than just arranged by time.

Thanks again
Christopher McAllister

I have previously attended your Missouri City class and wanted to let you know how great it is. Your instructors do a phenominal job of presenting relevant (and sometimes complicated) information in an easily understood format. I am now a licensed pyrotechnician and do my own shoots, but am bringing my husband to your class this year so that he can get his certification. I can think of no other company that offers a better, or more informative, class.

Thanks so much for all you do! YOU GUYS ROCK!
