IMO, if you didnt have about a dozen burn marks in your tshirt after you were done, you werent really getting into the spirit of bottle rocketry.

Hehe. We would take about 4-5 gross at a time, put them in a large coffee can with sand in the bottom to hold them upright. Then someone would light them up with a can of hairspray and a lighter. It was a pretty impressive show.
We also used to have some pretty hellacious bottle rocket wars. My buddy's parents used to head out of town every 4th of July and they had pretty big yard (.5-.75 acre or so). There'd be about 8-10 of us and we'd spend the day building our "forts" out of old window screens, cardboard boxes and such. We'd use conduit or something similar as a bottle rocket launcher (pre-sighted in, of course). It was a blast.
I never said we were smart...
