Good work, thanks Leesecw; there's nothing quite like hearing the sound, and seeing the smoke of full-size muzzleloading ordnance.

Checked back one more time after a snack before bed. In a few of thos vids you can hear the round hit short and then a loud pop when it tears into the trees on the berm. Look closely at the bronze napoleon. Those guys were putting a two and a half pound powder charge in that gun. look closely at a rag near the front of the far wheel. watch what happens to it when the gun goes off

Interesting that they should leave the trail spike in place when firing that bronze one.... I've seen them break off in recoil.

I have always left the handspike in, and I think everyone else does to. If it will break on recoil I think it will break in use anyway. I can't explain the first noise of the hit, but the second sound is the round going through the target not the trees. At any rate it was a fun weekend, and thanks for posting the video.

That was the service charge for solid shot and case shot. Common shell used a lot less - only two pounds.

If you watch down range you can also see the shell hit!!

Im going to post some pics today sometime also. I took alot of video. I just picked out four off the bat I thought were a little more interesting than the others. Tooking forward to seeing the artilleryman and guardsgunner and the rest down at Port Huron in august once you guys set it up.

Can I be a jerk and point out that it would more likely be "shot" rather than "shell?"
(getting close to the "it's not a clip, it's a magazine" pickyness)

Double D · « **Reply #10 on:** July 15, 2009, 09:12:37 AM »

Your right it probably was a shot, I don't think they allowed shell to be fired. But it made such a large cloud of dust and it was Grayling I wasn't sure it might not be a shell. Do you know if it was or not?

guardsgunner · « **Reply #11 on:** July 15, 2009, 09:56:13 AM »

leesecw,
It was nice to have met you this weekend.
Thanks for posting the pictures. My camera was in its usual safe place (the truck ) and I did not take a single picture.

oh, by the way; the bronze gun belongs to the 1st SC. The artilleyrmans crew.

leesecw · « **Reply #12 on:** July 15, 2009, 10:49:10 AM »

Solid ball made out of mostly zinc. We cant shoot shell or anything that explodes anywheres since 9-11. The last two years i was on a gun crew I had an opprtunity to see this a number of times, including seeing the Paulson Brothers shoot some exploding rounds from pieces including out of a 13 inch seacoast

KABAR2 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 15, 2009, 04:28:16 PM »

Ok in the third clip there is a cannon sitting to the left behind the lines it is smaller and the crew almost looks Spanish American war with the tan pants
and brown hat anything on them?

leesecw · « **Reply #14 on:** July 15, 2009, 04:51:27 PM »

OK lets try some grayling pics. if this works then Ill try some more. here goes

leesecw · « **Reply #15 on:** July 15, 2009, 04:54:12 PM »

Those guys had two 3.5 inchers and the smaller one was a hotchkiss I believe. I have some more including one of their crew holding a shell once I get it posted. They are definetely Spam[am war uniforms

leesecw · « **Reply #16 on:** July 15, 2009, 05:18:45 PM »

More grayling pics. Hope these are a better quality. Those others were from some old film in a regular camera I used after along time in the camera. These are from my digital camera

leesecw · « **Reply #17 on:** July 15, 2009, 05:19:51 PM »

Oops dont know what went wrong there. maybe Double D can bail me out again as usual.

Double D · « **Reply #18 on:** July 15, 2009, 05:30:59 PM »

Can't help.

leesecw · « **Reply #19 on:** July 15, 2009, 05:39:57 PM »

Ill try again tomorrow. Had everything lined up the way I lind th first ones up. Oh well thanks very kindly for the help again, I appreciate it

Double D · « **Reply #20 on:** July 15, 2009, 07:01:43 PM »

Best I can figure is you have exceeded your band width. You also may have exceeded the picture size. With a free account you get 25 Gb band width and pictures up to 1024x768.

Tried myhostedpics. nothing but error messages. Will try photobucket again

Cannoneer · « **Reply #24 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:34:49 AM »

Leesecw,

I don't know what happened, but the (large) photos you posted yesterday on reply no. 14 came through, then later they were gone.
At any rate, keep trying, they're interesting photos.

leesecw · « **Reply #25 on:** July 16, 2009, 06:44:45 AM »

I dumped a bunch to get some bandwidth back including some that were there for a long time. Im going to sort through and repost

leesecw · « **Reply #26 on:** July 18, 2009, 04:11:24 PM »

Lets try to put some of the photos back

KABAR2 · « **Reply #27 on:** July 18, 2009, 04:30:13 PM »

I think your main problem is PHOTOBUCKET it does not play nice on many forums, time and again I have

seen the dredded ......

Try Picturetrail.com I've used them since 2002 and have no issues.

leesecw · « **Reply #28 on:** July 18, 2009, 04:44:34 PM »

Will check them out. I tried myhostedpics but got a half a page of error messages
