At the right you see our Original 10 Pounder Parrot Rifled Cannon at a N-SSA National Shooting event being aimed at targets down range. Notice the bullseye targets out at 200 yards and the 12 inch clay bathroom tiles on a cardboard backer at 100 yards.

Other times we shoot at a Counter Battery Target at 200 yards. Counter Battery targets are usually a picture of another cannon, mounted on a backer. Scoring depends on where you hit the cannon.

-- FIRE! --

Our Gun shoots a cast lead shell that can accuratly hit a 12 inch dinner plate at 200 yards, well, on a good day anyway. At other shoots we shoot home-made cannister made of aluminum cans filled with 30 or so round balls, which when shot act like a giant shotgun shell. This event is scored by counting the number of hits made on 4 man sized silouettes at 100 yards.

In recent years we have participated in Living History Events at Armed Forces Day, Picattiny Arsenal. We setup tents, park our cannons, and give the public a great show. At these events we even got to do a little battle on the generals golf course. Here are a few pictures taken back in 1988.

Anyone can join the our battery, men and women alike.

Some years we go to the Gettysburg Wax Museum and do a living history for the public for a weekend. Here is a shot of some of our members teaching how a cannon is loaded and fired.
