--Oh yeah. I've put up a webpage with a few photos and some text here: http://www.nmpproducts.com/rt16.htm It's hard to take photos and shoot the cannon too, so I opted for the kaboomies. Will see if any of my pals took photos and add 'em if I can..

Damn that sounds like fun! Let us know beforehand next time, I'd love to see that.

Had fun last weekend; went to an April Fools Day cannon shoot in northern California. Finally had a chance to learn how to shoot my cannon (bought at a tailgate sale many moons ago) without killing myself. Lessons learned: -50cc of F Pyrodex will send a golfball out of sight! -Aiming ain't trivial when the ground is sloping in two axes -Ramrods should be a constant diameter, just in case (no, it didn't happen!) -Pyrodex is corrosive; barrels need to be swabbed with soap and water, then oiled after use -And best of all: not all cannon nuts are Republicans, heh.
