Practice served 2 purposes

  • Safety check to make sure there were not explosions or other safety issues
  • Finalize the contest for range, creativity, and performance


OK... here we go....
(randy was hoping to launch his shirt too from the prototype)

at practice.. we hit the back wall behind the top row.. and dropped the shirt into the seats

we also impacted the banners

Randy and the rest of the launch team sign the launcher and wait.
