To go off topic about cannon, do you happen to shoot at that contest in Michigan I saw on the history channel, Gordon? It is a black powder antique cannon competition where they compete in 4 divisions: Rifled, smoothbore, mortar, and mountain gun. There was a really cool show about this contest on a couple of hours ago on the History Channel. |

Nope, sorry to say! I do, however know some of the contestants (of course :D ). One of my compadres who takes active part in such amusements (and usually wins, BTW) is also a maker of wheellocks, Taylor Anderson, out of Texas. He's done some artillery demo's for The History Channel, and ran the Artillery for the recent film "The Alamo" (much of which belongs to him). Cool guy, top-notch gunmaker, with some NICE artillery!
But being a California Boy, Michigan is a ways for me to drive just to shoot cannons. But to play Cavalry on the other hand, well, now, that's a different story, LOL! :D
Cheers, and thanks for the comment!
