Here's a link to a little about anvil shoots. Only 1 team that shoots here uses the old way. Some shoot modified, that go about 700 ft. high.
This one is headed to around 400 ft.

You have to wonder...couple of good ol boys sitting around drinking shine and start wondering what they can blow up...next thing you know anvils, cats, barns, trees, you name it, are flying through the air.

Have two cousins out in CO who were sitting watching a tv show where the person being pursued down the street by the villain who is going to run him over... and the idiot runs down the middle of the street to get run down eventually while everyone who is watching it is yelling....run to the side, you know, by the parked cars and trees.

Well, anyway...they were drinking some (a lot) and one tells the other he could dodge that car with no problem and before long they end up out in the nearest field, one in the car, one running. Sure enough the target manages to evade the driver after a dozen turns....so the driver gets a running start from several hundred feet and hits him doing probably 40 mph. Rumples the hood, smashes the windshield, dents the roof and throws the runner 20 feet in the air to land on his back behind the car. Driver runs back to his brother and figures he probably killed him....finds him on his back laughing his head off.

Next day he is bruised head to toe but nothing is broke. All they can figure is he was so wasted he flew like a rag doll and being limp, didn't break anything.

Sure glad I moved away from them before I got old enough for this kinda fun.
