What I did for Thanksgiving :)

[withergyld]

I went out to the desert yesterday morning. My friend brought his black powder cannon. We shot several golf balls out of it and some lead miniballs that he makes. I took some movies for your enjoyment.
The first is shooting a milk jug full of water with a golf ball.

Next is shooting an empty propane tank with a lead miniball.

Here is a picture of the hole in the tank, to the right on the ground is the projectile taken out of the propane tank.

Looks like fun.

I really miss shooting on Thanksgiving. Maybe when the nephews are older.

For those without quick time, I have converted the clips to .WMV and combined them

Doc, you are very kind. People say I need to get out more.
