FIREWORKS

Fireworks for the close of a drive hunt, a hunting club anniversary, or New Year's Eve at the lodge – cake batteries from 19 to 130 shots for the celebration after a day in the field. Pick a battery by shot count and how long you want the show to run.

A hunt often ends not with a shot at game but with a shared celebration, a bonfire, a drink from the horn, and light over the clearing. The close of a drive hunt, a club anniversary, or New Year's Eve at a forest lodge are occasions where a festive battery fits better than almost any other gift. This section covers batteries from 19 to 130 shots, sized for launching in a clearing by the hunting lodge or at a countryside farmstead after the hunt.

Who these fireworks are for

These fireworks are for hunting clubs marking the end of a drive hunt and for families spending New Year's Eve away from the city. A battery goes off once the hunt itself is done, game is gathered, and rifles are back in their cases. This is not a tool for the hunt itself. The noise and light mark the finale of the evening, not the drive, and turn the clearing by the lodge into the center of the celebration.

Batteries by shot count

Short batteries, 19 to 30 shots

This group includes Max 19-4, Max 19-3, Dollar and Gold Pyro-Fusion, each firing 19 shots, and suits a small group by the fire when you want a brief but bright close to the speeches at the end of a drive hunt. Exciting Journey, at 30 shots, already builds a longer sequence.

Mid-size batteries, 39 to 60 shots

Supreme (39 shots), Forever Young (40 shots), Big Bandyto (42 shots), Ultimate Flower Crown (49 shots), 57 stairs in the sky (57 shots) and Legends Never Die (60 shots) suit a larger club gathering, when the whole team of beaters and shooters is celebrating together.

Long batteries, 79 to 103 shots

Stoop Booming (79 shots), A million dreams (81 shots), Santa Babah (100 shots) and Exclusive Christmas show (103 shots) work well for a club anniversary or a larger New Year's party at the farmstead, when you want a longer display.

Large-scale batteries, over 100 shots

Exclusive Show Czech (130 shots), Glitter Conqueror Show (100 shots) and Phenomenal Pyro Show (102 shots) are built for the club's biggest event of the year, when the celebration runs the whole evening and draws a large crowd of guests.

How to choose a battery

The right choice depends on the occasion, the site, and how many people gather round the fire. A few pointers help you decide fast.

• For a small gathering at the hunting lodge, a 19 to 30 shot battery is short and clear.
• For a club gathering with the full brigade, look at the 39 to 60 shot range.
• For an anniversary or a large New Year's party at the farmstead, choose 79 shots or more.
• An open clearing away from buildings and the forest edge suits a battery of any size, but keep a safe distance from spectators and structures whatever the count.

Practical advice for the field

Before you light a battery by the hunting lodge, check the wind direction and the ground beneath it. The ground should be firm, not boggy, and clear of dry leaves or grass that could catch fire. In autumn and winter, when the hunting season is busiest, the ground is usually damp, so the fireworks burn more predictably than in a dry summer, when fire risk is higher. Set batteries on a flat base, away from trees and vehicles, and keep spectators at the stated safe distance. Keep water or sand within reach, especially near a wooden lodge.

When hunting clubs celebrate with fireworks

The Lithuanian hunting season has a few natural moments when a battery in the sky fits best, and none of them overlap with the actual drive. In autumn, after the first big drive hunts, clubs often hold a shared dinner around a bonfire with a short display to close the evening. In December, before Christmas, hunting groups finish the year's last hunt and celebrate together with their families. New Year's night at a forest lodge or a countryside farmstead is perhaps the most popular occasion, with a battery timed to go off right at midnight. In spring, once the season ends, some clubs hold a closing event with awards for the best shooters, and a short show rounds out that evening well.

Storage and handling rules

Store batteries somewhere dry and cool, away from heat sources and out of children's reach. A shed or cellar near the hunting lodge suits better than the lodge itself. When you launch a battery, follow the manufacturer's stated safe distance and your local municipality's rules on timing and location for pyrotechnics. Around New Year's, most municipalities allow a wider window for use, but at other times of year, say when celebrating the close of the hunting season in autumn, it is worth checking local restrictions in advance. Leave a spent battery in place for fifteen to twenty minutes before touching it, and collect the burned-out remains the next day so nothing is left behind at the forest edge.

When to pick a different centerpiece

A battery works well when the close of the hunt takes place in the open and everyone wants a shared visual finale seen by the whole team at once. If the celebration is indoors or close to homes, choose a smaller battery or another option instead, since noise and smoke can disturb neighbors and livestock on nearby farms.
