  • I participated in the Battle of Wilsons Creek reenactment in the early 1990's and was fighting on "Bloody Hill" in the union lines and had to be ordered to duck so a cannon similar to this discharged its ammo and the tree in front of this bent forward, substantially. It was something to see.

  • Due to park rules, we only shot half of the charge and couldn't shoot a real round because one of the tour rodes was in front of the cannon around 100-200 feet away.

  • :D This is where I worked all summer long.

  • interesting but no recoil what we do we use a real round for competetion and you can see a recoil.
