The cannon was the star of the show. Actually hit the target with it. Too many to say "Best in show", but Joes 358 EG might get my vote.
I shamefully forgot to say many many thanks to Joe and Gary for orchestrating such a seamless event. could not have possibly went down any smoooooother.

Randy, he is thriving, and is the most polite well centered lad I know. He was my gunner's mate on the cannon- he laid the gun (aimed it) and lit the fuse after I loaded it. "You may fire when ready, Gridley!" - and then he scampered away right quick!

I mean to hunt with that cannon this year. .62 lead ball and 60 grains FFg ought to knock a deer down, no?
Heck, you work near that Navy school I can't mention. Mount that cannon on one of their boats, load it up with BB shot and go duck hunting. Don't bother lending it to them for the Army-Navy game; they won't get to fire it much. ;-).
Yes Brace is a good Kid, he loved shooting Steves 1903 savage 22 and Jerrys Marlin 39 22 He also was Very Helpful to us old Farts! His 1st day at school this year was Monday, How many other kids can say they Fired a cannon!
