Pacificon Report

Pacificon was fun, and we had a stuffed room for the presentation. We had a lot of good comments from the presentation, and a lot of visitors at the Buddipole booth where Chris Drummond graciously gave me some space.

The order backlog is growing, and this weekend we’re going to work on preparing a bunch of orders for shipment.

We are working on another batch of barrel material, but in the meantime we picked up some of the thicker Schedule 40 barrel material and put it on the website. This thicker pipe works fine, especially with well-worn used tennis balls, or Walmart Fun Balls which tend to be a bit smaller. If you want to change barrels later just friction-fit the barrel or use a little tape, or a couple of small screws to hold it on.

We are working on a strut to provide support for the trigger. It is not ready yet but looks very promising. It is best to avoid glueing the trigger to retain flexibility for service, and this strut may be the best long term solution to that issue.

Progress and Pacificon

Well, it is that time of year again, and we are preparing for Pacificon. This is the largest batch of orders to date, and we are starting to ship now. This batch is getting stretched out due to many factors, but it is progressing. Kits will ship first then built launchers.

We will be making a presentation at Pacificon on Sunday, and we will have some booth space in the Buddipole booth. If you want us to bring anything to Pacificon for you, let me know ASAP so there will be time to prepare it. Come by and say hello at the Buddipole booth.

We are just about out of barrel material so we are scrambling to find more. Most other parts are in stock, or orderable within a week.
