I'm seeing if I can master this pic system. Here are a few shots of last months' shoot in Casper, WY. If this works, I'll put up a few more

Here's a couple more. It was cool seeing how they stayed on target at 600 & 900 yards.

GOOD PIX!

Some of them scream "POSTCARD"  (that's a high compliment).

I never thought of that, but that's a good idea. I have some stop-action flame shots that are reeeally neat if i can figure out how to get them on here. The 2 sighting shots are the guns from the 2nd Iowa Light Artillery Battalion. We'll be shooting a live fire shoot in New Ulm, MN on the 24th of this month. I'll post some more photos from there as well. Freddy, are you guys going to be there? If so, are you bringing some of the big mortars??

Thanks Tim,
Joe

Dictator:

Is it possible for you to send me a larger picture of the Tang sight on the breech end of the Parrott rifle. This is the picture on the top right. I want to see their modified sight base and how they attached it to the back of the barrel.

 I have a Soule Tang sight, taken off of my Shiloh Sharps that I am planning to attach it to the breech end of my half scale, 1.5” smoothbore Parrott cannon.

Cpt. Ed,
I'll PM you with a close up of their installation. What Shiloh do you have. I have one of their #1's in 45-110 w/ the the MVA long range sight systems. The guys here want to add a Soul cup. They installed the sights on this themselves. If you would like I could give you the address of the gentlman who built the gun himself. They are super people. That's why I joined their battery.

Hey Dictator (Joe).  Great pictures and I have been eagerly watching for their posting.  Now, if only you could make them a little larger, they'd be just about perfect for my tired old eyes.  I may be heading for Iowa within the next month or so.  How's about getting rid of that blasted humidity or at least get it down to about 20% like we have here in Colorado. Between the humidity and the corn pollen, I have one nasty time there when visiting Iowa in the Summer/Fall!  Again, thanks for posting and I am wondering if you do you kinda plan on the Casper Shoot again next year, I know that it's a long time off, but gotta start planning way ahead. It's also a very good place to stock up on pwdr/fuse...:wink:

Hey Blaster Bob,
 Boy I didn't want to not say Hi. Sure was good to see you in Casper. You can bet I'll be back next year and will look forward to seeing you again unless of coarse you sneak back into Iowa sooner. Come on up and see us in New Ulm if you can. The boys were in Forrest City this weekend but I couldn't make it. Sure wish I could Have. Like we thought, sure wish i'd have bought more powder in Casper. Now that I've got somewhat of a handle on posting pics, I'm going to put up a bunch as the shoots go. I have to figure how to get some of my best flame shots on here as some of them are really good. In fact, send me your e-mail address and I'll forward them to you from Casper.

All the best,
Joe

Dictator:

Thanks, I’m looking forward to the PM with the enlarged image of their sight installation.

Please also supply the information on the gentleman that did the installation.

I don’t want to get far off of the subject here but to answer your question,

My Shiloh Sharps is a Sporter #1, in 40-65 cal with a 34” barrel and all of the mid-range leveled sighting system.

Hey Dictator, great pictures! Thanks for posting.

Before you get to heavy into posting pictures go to the sticky at the top of the board on Picture posting.  The picture posting Troll will come out from under the bridge and growl at you if you make them to big.  Suggested size is 7.5 inches wide at 72 pixels per inch. Although with the new software that GB runs on I think you can't post a picture to big any more.  If you post a big picture it resizes it and tells you to clicko n the picure to see it full size.
