The barrel is not centered so you are looking at different diameters therefore everything looks wrong.

thats because the carrige is too large for that barrel
the distance between the cheeks is larger than the barrel diameter

 The most obvious problem I see here and at nearly every single CW reenactment is that at least one participant has a serious fire hazard growing on his face.

 Surprised you guys missed that one...

The range is laid out looking directly into the sun.

This casuses eye stain.

Obviously the folks firing the cannon were blinded and didn't see the other people down range.

This has to be a trick question, I can't find the barely dressed woman in the backround. I know she is there somewhere.

If memory serves me.......

They are WAY in the background........ after the "Sheriff" locks away the bad guys he is asked would he have fired the cannon?

he says it wasn't loaded and lit the fuze.... cannon goes boom and barely dressed ladies stream out of the brothel

after it is hit by the cannon ball......

And after all that trouble, the Sheriff tells the mayors girl that she is his and farther in the future he is elected governor of the state and never makes it to Australia; which is where he was headed in the first place. He only stopped in that town to get a grubstake.
