Taking BP mortar and cannon to
« on: January 23, 2006, 01:57:52 PM »
I am planning to take a couple Black Powder cannon and perhaps a BP mortar to the Sertoma Gun Show being held at the Phil Long EXPO in Colorado Springs this coming weekend, 1/28 & 29th.  Any of the Colorado BP cannon-mortar shooters/collectors going to attend.  If so, please be sure to stop by my table if you have the time to spare.  Thanks!  Blaster (Bob in So.

Geez, surely there be at least one other Colorado Black Powder Mortar and/or cannon shooter at this Colorado Springs Gun Show besides me.  Looks like very few BP BIG bore shooters in Colorado. :cry:

As a follow up, there was no one at the show, who came by my table, who admitted to being fans of the Graybeard Mortar/Cannon site.  Anyhow, I did get to do quite a bit of visiting regarding BP stuff and some were quite interesting.  Heard some real horror stories and was amazed that the shooters were still alive and able to tell their stories. Got a lead on a presentation cannon. Now if it just materializes!  There you have it!  Blaster (Bob in So. CO)

Bob, I hope to do a show in Colorado someday soon.  My cousen in Longmont say I need to get to Colorado.
I have a lot of people tell me of a lot of crazy stunts that they have done. Its a wonder that the world is as populated as it is, with what some people do...  the gun shows are a good place to educate people to the dangers of our fine sport.

My next schuled show will be the Big Reno show at the Reno Hilton in Reno,  Nv.  This is in my oppion the best show in the west.

Rick, I hope you post the location and date of the Colorado Gun Show in which you expect to display your stuff.  We'll be watching for it.  Thanks.
