Cannon Shooting in Oregon
Really In response to BILLIN OREGON. Try Peter Hoyt, JEFFERSON ARMORY, located in Phoenix, Oregon. He has a web site for Replica Artillery that he creates. On his site are pictures from a cannon shoot, at the Josephine County Range in Merlin, Oregon. He may know of other cannon shoots in that area. -

wadding for blank loads
The Cannon School and Matt Switlik's book "The More Complete Cannoneer" all recommend not using any wadding at all. A well-wrapped charge in heavy-duty aluminum foil will give you enough of a report to safely keep you happy. In over 30 years of shooting muzzle-loading cannons of all calibers... -
