Unless there's a national "Launch an Anvil" association, the BATFE will have a hard time finding such people.

I don't think this would be legal, if someone caught people like this. The trick would be to find out when and where the National Anvil Launchers Association is going to meet.
This could be someone's religious ceremony.
You know, I have to admit, I'm very
We raise holy heck when anyone wants to regulate rocketry, and here we have people wanting to regulate another group.
I'm pretty moderate in my views, but rocketry is regulated; self-regulated based on sound/proven processes. Anvil launching is not. Hence the difference.
Besides, they're all still over 3.3 lbs and need to have an FAA waiver. LOL!
They're not rockets, ergo the 3.3lb rule for rockets does not apply.
The term destructive device shall not include any device which is neither designed nor redesigned for use as a weapon; any device, although originally designed for use as a weapon, which is redesigned for use as a signaling, pyrotechnic, line throwing, safety or similar device;
Black powder. Except for the provisions applicable to persons required to be licensed under subpart D, this part does not apply with respect to commercially manufactured black powder in quantities not to exceed 50 pounds, percussion caps, safety and pyrotechnic fuses, quills, quick and slow matches, and friction primers, if the black powder is intended to be used solely for sporting, recreational, or cultural purposes in antique firearms, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 921 (a)(1 6) or antique devices, as exempted from the term "destructive devices" in 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(4).
In all seriousness though, if there is a waiver for muzzle loaders and cannons but otherwise BATFE wants an LEUP for black powder, wouldn't anvil throwers at least have to apply for an LEUP and have approved storage since they don't fit into any of the waivered categories?
IN ANTIQUE FIREARMS.BATF wants an LEUP for black powder that's not used for sporting, recreational, or cultural purposes...
Yeah, but Kevin... Its Wilford Brimley so its OK... Duh!
"It's the right thing to do and a dangerous way to do it!"
That bang sounded eerily familiar.
Yeah, but that was fun and 50lbs of iron was not thrown up in the air!
