Thanks , I shoot about anything I can get my hands on .

Started at 6 in Donaldson Tenn.

Cannon wise I own an older South Bend Replica 2.25" Cohorn . Recently I added a Brooke USA brass enhanced .30 cal. cohorn .

It's been a blast . Actually "very instructive" .  Hopefully a new gun is on the way....soon .

     Welcome aboard, RocklockI.  You will find this bunch of cannon fanciers to be quite friendly and helpful.  You're going to have to tell us about your new gun soon.  Do you know yet what type it will be?  There are more than a few SBR cannon owners here.  SBR has had consistent quality for years and years; you can't ask for much more than that.  Looking forward to your postings on that new piece.

Regards,

Mike and Tracy
