Cannon Forum please!

I am not the only one I think here who would love a cannon forum. A forum dedicated to collecting, firing and building cannons. Firing my first cannon at Keith's ranch got me addicted. The ultimate legal big bore!

I've got a nice 1/4-scale mountain howitzer tube awaiting a carriage ...

I think a breech loaded 2 bore and 12 bore cannon would be fun

Sleeve a bronze turned cannon with a rifled steel barrel.

Cannons are patriotic

I think cannon making should be fun and even more fun to shoot!

What if we include Trebuchets as well? Or, even a broad based one to include all sorts of weapons that launch projectiles? If we do that, Boomie can make all sorts of lethal things that Kali hasn't gotten around to banning yet. And no need for gunpowder.

Rich!
Shhhhh!!!
I don't want the ATF to turn into the ATTF

Ill have to check with the ATF has any laws against ancient castle destroying machines like Trebuchets.
Cannons are a little more portable than Trebuchets.
I don't have any cannons yet but I'm thinking that a few hours on a lathe and I can be well on my way. Maybe get into a cannon kit.
