Does anybody have any data on the range of these cannons?

Parrott-Cannon, lots of variables to consider: Amount of powder, lenght of barrel, degree of inclination, Golf Ball or Lead ball...you might want to go to the list of sponsers and check with a couple of them, maybe Dominick, or Armorer77, they both make lots of GB Mortars and cannons. BoomLover

Hmmm.
 Golf balls are very light for long range work.
Using them in mortars, they hook and slice a lot when going out past 100 yards.

Using them in a mountain howitzer, they hook and slice before getting to 100 yards.   ;D
