It was great meeting you Mark! I’m glad one of our mortar crews had the opportunity to speak to you. Come back out and shoot with us anytime!!! We are recruiting new members to shoot mortar, musket, revolver, and carbine. We have loaner gear and muskets so come on out and have some fun!

Cool stuff! I've seen a lot of blank charges fired in cannons but never live rounds. I had a Rodman gun (3 inch ordnance rifle) fired at point blank range (50 or so yards) at me in a re-enactment of the Battle of Chickamauga. The whole right side of our line took a 'quail' because it would have been double canister at that range. Got to watch the rest of that part of the battle propped up on my elbow.
