There was all sizes last year, full scale & smaller guns. If my memory is right, there were about 10 or so mortar teams, mostly bowling ballers as the target is 1000 rds out. The smaller 4-6" round are hard to follow out at the far ranges. The bowling balls are easier to follow in flight & to see them impact on that hard, dry ground. The course of fire last year was 5 practice round in the morning & 5 for score in the afternoon in sequence down the line Saturday & Sunday. Most of the teams arrived on Friday pm to set up. There was all sized of cannons from 1' on up in several catagories from smooth bore through rifled small cal-large cal. Dan seemed to be a nice & helpfull sort. I asked him last year if it was ok to post this shoot on this forum and he was all for it. Remember in Casper that time of year it can be real hot. Last year it was around 100 all weekend. Bring sun screen, glasses, water, big hat & ear plugs. You saw all forms of attire from full uniform to most people in summer dress. Black wool is for the dedicated :wink:. There was also a powder vendor there last year with great prices on Goex, fuse & accessories. I have his info if you want to contact him.
It will be my wifes & my 20th anniversary in June. What says I love you like the thunder of artillery :toast: :devil2:
Joe
