Always a pleasure having you at the Fort and talking with Mark! A great video sharing our beloved hobby. Thank you for the great coverage!
Thanks for watching...this N-SSA event is a blast to visit!
Thanks for covering this and all of the events Mark, you do not disappoint.
Thanks for watching..this one was fun to get involved with!
That was fun to watch ! Brings back memories of my own cannon of 3” bore. That was back in the day when you could order a case of powder ups and not have to pay extra charges for haz mat. We had so much fun with it. Thanks Mark for taking us along ! 👍😃 Blessings !
Those good ol' days are long gone & that's a bummer! Thanks for watching Jerry....
That has to be the coolest thing to do with Blackpowder !
Looks like Pure Fun !!!!!
It was a blast to participate in...!!! Thanks for watching..
Thanks for coming out! My team was one of those that broke the stake in mortar.
We heard you guys in the back ground..I bet that was fun!
@@blackpowdermaniacshooter It means I have to make a new target stake. This time we hit it so hard I had to replace the rebar support. But yes, it's an amazing thing.
That was great! Thank you 🤠
Thanks for watching..
Missed it again. That looked really fun. As the last guy said about triggering a cannon ,"every little kid's dream".
Yep...even this "big kid's" dream too...!! Thanks for watching..
Thank you.
Thanks for watching..
thanks so much for taking us along, Mark . it's cool to shoot bp rifles so I can imagine how it felt to shoot the big guns. Now back to inletting the flintlock I'm making for next years Hawken classic, then off to church. God bless you and yours, Bruce.
God Bless you too...and...hopefully I can make the Classic in the spring. Thanks for watching..
That was awesome! Thanks for this video
Thanks for watching..I LOVED every minute of it!
Playing with the big kids, eh!! Thanks for sharing the fun.
Yeah..I enjoy playing with those rascals anytime I can! Thanks for watching..
Glad you shared and sounded like you had a great time!
Thanks for watching..
Wow that cannon must have been a blast to fire!👍 Sure looks like an amazing time even if it does rain a little bit here and there. As always God bless Mark and thanks for bringing us along with you brother.
Thanks my friend....the rain seems to follow me at these events everywhere! LOL
That was awesome Mark! Thank you for sharing with us. God Bless you and your family brother.
Thanks for watching....I look forward to trying that again someday.

Thanks for watching..
excellent recap Black Powder Maniac Shooter - I hope to attend one of these events one day. *LIKED* the video --LT
It is a VERY cool event. There is so much going on I couldn't film it all. Thanks for watching.
Good stuff! Thanks for showing this.
Thanks for watching..those fellars can shoot better than I do...!!
Wow. Thank you bpm. Is that a Big Bang theory. Kaboom
😂
Thanks for watching..have a blessed day..
That looks like more fun than a guy can shake a stick at. Were you able to find out how those cannon were hitting? At least you weren't tryin to wear out that poor ol' Big Foot this time....
They were hitting the 4 X 8 sheet pretty regularly. I didn't get to go out to film the results. Wish I could have..that would have been pretty neat.
I know they know what they are doing, but the guy bending his head and face over the muzzle and loading the ball at 6:10, with a smoldering match in the foreground, gave me the heebie-jeebies.
I didn't catch that when filming, but did in editing. Thanks for watching..
Oh my! what a thrill. I am glad you got to touch off a couple.
Sulfur fumes and "Jesus loves you," hmmm....😮
Amen brother...Jesus loves all of us.
Had a friend that owned a four pounder. Transported on an open trailer pointed backwards of course
He had a bumper sticker that said ‘DONT TAILGATE!’
I LOVE this post! That's funny...!! LOL
That was very cool Mark. Thanks for taking us along. How many lbs of powder is used in the mortars and the cannons in each shot? I assume also that the balls from the mortars are reusable. What about the projectiles out of the cannons do they go retrive them also?
I don't know how much powder those mortars use. I didn't ask that question. How silly of me! Yes, those round balls are reused. in the matches constantly. Some groups actually paint numbers and/or stripes on them. Regarding the cannon ones.....they are reused if they aren't deformed. They actually go dig the projectiles out of the hillside to shoot again. I didn't get to go out and film that part. I would have LOVED to do that! Thanks for watching..
I'm currently in the midst of researching black powder artillery and mortars, but having some difficulties in finding any gunnery tables for BP mortars (ranges, acceptable accuracy, etc). Does anyone have some of that data, or could I get some historical accuracy data from some of the previous events?
You may want to contact the North South Skirmish Association for answers to that question. They have experts in the field of artillery & mortars. Here is their website: n-ssa.org
