      I personally prefer mortar! It’s more fun to watch and to shoot. If your in the area come on out and shoot mortar with us.

    Great video! Those cannons are amazing, I have seen them fired long ago but they never cease to amaze me, the mortars are amazing too. Those guys are highly skilled in firing them. 👍

    Hey Mark this was great ! I once had a 3” mountain gun. Had a lot of fun with it but it kept me broke buying powder for it ! 🤣😂 Just got back from the Wild Horse Rendezvous in Montana. Bunch of great people who also enjoy your channel and send their love and greetings. We really enjoyed it! Thanks again for the video ! 👍😃

    Great insight for what happened on the battlefield years ago. I'm sure this wasn't called cool back then. Just frightening I am certain.

    Cool stuff! I've seen a lot of blank charges fired in cannons but never live rounds. I had a Rodman gun (3 inch ordnance rifle) fired at point blank range (50 or so yards) at me in a re-enactment of the Battle of Chickamauga. The whole right side of our line took a 'quail' because it would have been double canister at that range. Got to watch the rest of that part of the battle propped up on my elbow.

    wow Mark your teaser last week really paid off this week. Thanks so much for taking us along. Heck I can't hit much at 100 yards let alone shoot a cannon with accuracy. I really enjoy your videos and learn every time I watch. God bless you and yours, Bruce

    Wow those cannons are amazing! I honestly can't believe how accurate those guys can actually be with them too. I guess they paid attention in math class 😆 That snake looked like a Water moccasin but I couldn't tell. As always thanks for sharing the great videos Mark and God bless you and your family brother.
