Here she is in all her glory.

 

 

Her dad is a proud one - but he also likes feedback.

Looks like you need more tension in your string; it should be just shy of breaking as you apply it. Did you use a spiking horse? I have a picture of a crude one in my gallery: http://www.amateurpyro.com/forums/gallery/image/3142-making-a-bottom-shot/

 

Just affix two "posts" to something very solid, then wind your string snugly onto it in a figure 8 pattern. This setup allows you to pull that string tight enough.

I was using my foot to hold the tension on the line.

 

Going to construct a spiking horse.

 

Thanks

It's all I had on hand. I am thinking that it is to big.

 

Don't know if I should re-spike with 20lb?

If the shell fits in the gun, it should be fine. I use two strands of 20# hemp from Hobby Lobby, and I'm happy with my breaks.

Is the shell filled solidly? It looks lumpy. I would respike it with more tension on the string.like Wiley said, the string should be almost at the breaking point as you spike a shell.

She's packed tight with a few lumps near the ends. Came about while spiking.
