thanks so much for taking us along, Mark . it's cool to shoot bp rifles so I can imagine how it felt to shoot the big guns. Now back to inletting the flintlock I'm making for next years Hawken classic, then off to church. God bless you and yours, Bruce.

@@blackpowdermaniacshooter It means I have to make a new target stake. This time we hit it so hard I had to replace the rebar support. But yes, it's an amazing thing.

That was fun to watch ! Brings back memories of my own cannon of 3” bore. That was back in the day when you could order a case of powder ups and not have to pay extra charges for haz mat. We had so much fun with it. Thanks Mark for taking us along ! 👍😃 Blessings !

I know they know what they are doing, but the guy bending his head and face over the muzzle and loading the ball at 6:10, with a smoldering match in the foreground, gave me the heebie-jeebies.

That looks like more fun than a guy can shake a stick at. Were you able to find out how those cannon were hitting? At least you weren't tryin to wear out that poor ol' Big Foot this time....

They were hitting the 4 X 8 sheet pretty regularly. I didn't get to go out to film the results. Wish I could have..that would have been pretty neat.

Had a friend that owned a four pounder. Transported on an open trailer pointed backwards of course He had a bumper sticker that said ‘DONT TAILGATE!’

I LOVE this post! That's funny...!! LOL

That was very cool Mark. Thanks for taking us along. How many lbs of powder is used in the mortars and the cannons in each shot? I assume also that the balls from the mortars are reusable. What about the projectiles out of the cannons do they go retrive them also?

@blackpowdermaniacshooter

I don't know how much powder those mortars use. I didn't ask that question. How silly of me! Yes, those round balls are reused. in the matches constantly. Some groups actually paint numbers and/or stripes on them. Regarding the cannon ones.....they are reused if they aren't deformed. They actually go dig the projectiles out of the hillside to shoot again. I didn't get to go out and film that part. I would have LOVED to do that! Thanks for watching..

I'm currently in the midst of researching black powder artillery and mortars, but having some difficulties in finding any gunnery tables for BP mortars (ranges, acceptable accuracy, etc). Does anyone have some of that data, or could I get some historical accuracy data from some of the previous events?

You may want to contact the North South Skirmish Association for answers to that question. They have experts in the field of artillery & mortars. Here is their website: n-ssa.org
