Don't ricoche your cannon shot into neighbor's house

I don't fire these cannon gizmos......but I thought you guys might appreciate this one. There is a video clip from the news (and we all know how accurate the news is  ::) ) in the upper right of the web site.

Thanks for the link we had discussed this when it happened part knowing your backstop (no rocky soil), part too close to neighbors and part bad decision making.

all of which could have been avoided.

Friendly fire can save your butt, but can also be a hazard, especially if it hits the bathroom while you're occupied, or can ruin a good dinner if it wrecks the kitchen! Seriously, ya got to use a little common sense when touching off a round! Like you say, know your backstop! Local gravel pit is a great place, nothing comes back at you! BoomLover
