Cannon anyone?

Do these go on s SGC or FAC ?

Triffid

FAC as they are sub 24 inch I believe

Correct, although smooth bore the barrel length makes them section 1.

Well we had a terrific morning at NCB. As part of the Baikal challenge the little cannon was set up with members charged GBP2.00 per shot so costs covered plus a little bit for the club. The Viking and I manned the cannon so to speak and the members assisting in loading then sighting and firing the cannon at a splendid model of a Frenchie.

Points were awarded for shot placement with the maximum score being awarded for a hit on the magazine marked just forward of the middle mast and just above the waterline. We started at just after 10:00 and did not stop until close of play at a couple of minutes before 13:00 and I was impressed both by the take up by people with queues at a couple of points, plus the accuracy was for the most very good with the magazine being hit on a couple of occasions. All in all a great morning and the cannon only rolled off the table on one occasion :)

We used a 2 pounder today to scatter the ashes of one of our club members downrange.

I use some stout string taken round the trunions and tied to a hook that goes over the edge of the table to stop my cannon recoiling off the table

So if you can own one on an FAC you're free of the 2" bore diameter restriction having it on your SGC?
