| very cool!! that looks alot like the target cannon my good friend and reloading mentor built several years ago... it shot 1lb lead balls... we used to shoot at a cannon match in ft dodge ia on frontier days... if i remember right he used a 35 mm film can full of black powder under the 1 lb ball and had some sights he used to line her up... he could shoot a 6" group of 5 at 50 yards with the thing.... lots of fun! i wanted to shoot an old car with it to see what it would do but we never got the chance....... yet....

| Saw that a few years ago. Don't think he had wiped his face from the photos then. he must have had some very negative feedback!

I worked for CONDIESEL once and was assembling the 155mm howitzers for the US Army were using today in the middle east. With its 30 mile range and 55 gallon drum accuracy these babies are awesome!!!!!! I wanted to take one home to put on the front lawn so bad........ Last edited on 10 November 2008 12:58 AM by BigBill

| Charley, Maybe the anonymity is to avoid the wrath of the Wis. DNR. over the deer kill. These guys don't have much of a sense of humor. RD
