Gee BP Bill,I wernt  looking for a plug.But I will take it.Been busy as a one armed paper hanger getting the logestics all togther.We will use about 5,000 breakable targets in that weekend.They all need holes drilled in em too. The artillery and mortar comp should be a big draw to the roast hog supper on Sat eve. I am expecting at least 7 mortars and 6 pieces of artillery. Bills team is bringing a orgional 6 lb bronze smoothbore gun to show up everyone.  
 Here is a cute artillery web site with pics on hunting whitetail with a 12 lb mountian howizer and cannaster shot.

 I got to go drill more targets

If shooting,fixing,making and thunking were easy.Everyone would be doing it.

There are four types of homicide: felonious, accidental,
justifiable, and praiseworthy.
