You should see cannons fired after darkness falls. Really spectacular.

Nice! Thanks for the post! Good to see on a Monday morning!
Awesome photo, and timing! Thanks for posting!
I guess I should have said more about this cannon.It is full size It has a rifled barrel they were shooting a zinc Bullet that weighted about 4 pounds at a steel plate at 1000 yards. very accurate no problem hitting the target. Here's a shot of the bullet that's a .500 Linebaugh next to it and in the bore. This last shot is of 1/2 scale cannons

No, but I can skin a Parrott, LOL! -Looks like modern rifling, 3" Naval gun barrel perhaps? I once owned a barrel like that but had it smoothed out to 3 1/4". A friend bought it, it later got lost off a trailer south of Tulsa somewhere.
I wanna play too….

Watch these CW cannons in slow motion. The shock waves and flames are quite impressive.
I should have started this thread over on cannon forum!!

No. I would never have seen it, and I've greatly enjoyed it.

Maybe....but DANG...I'm thrilled that you didn't. Like Brokennock said, "I'd never have seen it there, and I've enjoyed it greatly." Thank you for posting it. Awesome timing as well!!
God bless:
