Here is the final result of the cannon firing today. This is the fourth shot of the day. The first two attempted by me, using black powder substitute called Pyrodex, were unsuccessfully. (Actually they were admittedly exciting "FFFFFOOOOOOSHHHHHEZZZZ")
The third shot was under instruction by the cannon owner at 50 grains of standard (ff) black powder, with good results. We increased the charge to 100 grains of (ff) black powder and a fair amount of packing, with excellent results!
I can't wait for the fourth of July! Woo Hoo!!!! Here's the video!
(Sorry about the language!)
Campy Out!
