Thanks Chris.
No they were only practicing the loading and firing... no way they would allow me to stand there if it were really loaded... both of the guys near the end of the barrel were covering thier ears...
Unfortunatly I wasnt feeling well that day and had to go home before the reenactment... there were two canons on the property and they were gonna fire them both off.. from what I heard it was loud... #8358433
