AKA American Brave at Patriotic. Not too bad for price. About the same size break as Black Box and Festival Balls. My biggest complaint is that tube is thin and cheap. Second shot damaged tube, had to use other tubes to finish the kit.

Shot the "American Brave" rewrap by Glorious. A very good value. These shells are about the same price as generic "Black Box" shells, but definitely superior quality. Stronger lift charge, harder breaks and a greater variety of colors and effects, plus each shell has a silver tail. This is a quality product.

I know the price is a rip off. Suck's to live in California where fireworks are illegal. I would buy this product again though.

I agree with "pyrobubba". The case of shells I purchased were the "American Brave" rewrap. These are the best reloadable shells I have every used. Good variety of breaks. Price is not that much more than the cheaper Black Box, Ninja, of Small Festival Shells.
I highly recommend this one !!! I can't wait to get more on my next trip.

I have had these for many years. Nice tails to a very good assortment of colors and breaks. Always a top performer. For me I have had nothing but good things to say about these shells! Far from an Excal, Rambo, ect, but far from crap! Get them no disappointments

I got a case of the rewraps from Patriotic back in 2005. Just shot a couple tonight and they are still impressive. Nice full breaks with nice mixture of effects. I just did not like the weak silver tails on them or else would get a ten.

These shells are very nice, so many different professional style effects to choose from, reasonable price, the only drawback is the spinners were really poor this year... i was really looking forward to them. The tubes are stronger than befoe thats a plus. I felt the breaks werent as loud as previous kits although that could be because we were shooting them with many larger louder shells

These are really fantastic especially for the price.. You get roughly 8 different effects as there are multiples of rings (two different colors) and I think a crackle one or something like that.. For a mid range shells these really are great. It seems you could also sky puke these without too much to lose with overlapping as most don't white out the sky.. again excellent for lower level finale stuff.. will be getting a ton more of these in the future..
