Looking for a Place to Shoot a Cannon

[GunTroll]

State lease. Or some of it. You talking about morgan county M.G shoot? If so he's got cattle all over that land now. I was just out there.

Present a bill about shooting toward cattle. If enough cows vote to turn down the bill, good for them, if not, sucks for those cows.

[GunTroll]

Its a democracy not a republic so I think this might work. I had a friend who went to Thailand years ago and he told me he was offered to shoot a cow with an rpg for money. He declined but thought it sounded cool. A bit of a waste of meat for a country thats not know to grow fat asses like ours.

wyoming
half the state is BLM land
you can really let'em fly up there

Darn! I was hoping there would be someplace like a nice valley, but not too far from Denver. That's probably the one with flying pigs.

If it is public and close to the front range it is trashed and in danger of being closed. I really don't want to drive to Wyoming to sight it in since I'm going to need a bunch of trips to get some data.

It really wouldn't be a good idea to be at all close to residences. It is seriously loud with blanks. It is beyond loud pushing lead.

If someone could help out with a location I'd be happy to let him yank a lanyard on a round.

Would approx ten acres be enough?

I just thought I'd post this link to move this up a bit. http://www.flickr.com/photos/9803617...03856342/show/
I'd love to be able to do enough load work to compete is this event.

If anybody has any places to suggest, I'm interested. I could take a small cannon out to sites to see if they are suitable. Saying 'Wyoming' doesn't help much. In many places where guns are okay, a cannon will freak people out. They worry about fire and such. I don't think that is an issue as long as some intelligence is used setting it up. There are millions of acres out there and there has to be someplace for this.

Just pushing this up once again. I've been unable to shoot anything for way too long due to family issues but should be free as the summer arrives.

Once again I'd love some sort of backstopped area so I could have hopes of retrieving 4 pound lead projectiles but anyplace would do.

If someone found a place I'd even let them yank the lanyard to see what a real gun is like.

Late last summer I found that the fifty caliber people had a range in Ft. Morgan and reached the fellow the week after they'd lost the lease to it.

Turns out it is more like 320 acres of land, but there is NO backstop at all, so it's a no go. Sorry to hear you're still looking.

you should check and see if dragonmans would let you its a gun range but from my understanding they allow everything there heck they blow up cars! it is public he owns a ton of military stuff i wouldent be surprised if he has a cannon! he owns like 6 different types of tanks! and museum full of real stuff!
