The “unconventional” launching of Estes model rockets.
M-80’s shot from wrist rockets.
Good times, good times.

wrist rockets were brutal. We tried hunting geese one fall using wrist rockets and lead fishing weights.

Model rocket with nose cone full of black powder, and both nose cone and engine epoxied in to the rocket body.

Amazing, window-rattling fun.

I remember having "wars" were we took tennis balls, propped them on top of fence posts, poured gas on them, lit them and then hit them at each other with baseball bats.
