Every 4th of July our family has a reunion at my grand parents farm. Fireworks evolved into spud guns evolved into a small black powder cannon that my uncle built. One summer we spent a whole day trying to hit a telephone pole at 50 yards...It has a 1 inch bore and I believe we were loading 600 grains of Pyrodex...If they thought that rattled their teeth, wait until I show them this...
I ran across a web site that talked about anvil shooting and last time I was home I turned over my grand fathers anvil and sure enough there was that little spherical hollow...what an evil grin appeared on my face...

Yep we used to dump a little powder in that hollow, lay a piece of cannon fuze into the pile and to the edge opf the anvil. Cover that with a piece of cardboard and put the other anvil on top of that. Light the fuze .........run like hell.
Anvil Bingo, Cowpie bingo ......all the same if it lands on ya..........really crappy outcome.......:o)
