"'Tis but a flesh wound!"

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]

That last photo looked like an awfully tight group for something aimed by propping it up on a chair with a plank.

Me smells a rural legend.............

Besides were I at the range and my neighbor pulled out that contraption I think I would retreat..........

That's not the landing spot - that's the take-off spot, moved a little bit each time, since the pipe shoves itself into the ground on each firing.

Give me the specs on the bowling ball and I will crunch the numbers. I will do a time & motion study that will include adjustable legs.

I can probably get the pipe for free and have the welding equipment to build it!!!

YOU find the range that will let us shoot it!!!!!

Those were the divots caused by the cannon's backward and downward motion as the powder exploded, not the bowling balls landing. those bowling balls are in the swamp waaay down yonder.
