Does anyone shoot cannons?

[Caster]

If any of you shoot cannons AND you cast your own cannon balls, please send me a PM. I have some zinc ingots I will let go cheap. I don't know how much zinc I have, I am in the process of smelting zinc wheel weights right now.

I have a small one, 3/4" bore. We shoot paper wads for new years eve and fourth of july. Wanting the noise only.

The zinc I get, I add to my scrap.

I know there's a lot of serious cannon shooters here and there that actually like zinc cause it's much cheaper than lead. You get a lighter ball for the size, but in trade you get a little more velocity I suppose. They sure would penetrate well as hard as they are.

I've often wanted to join up with the Blue Springs reinactors just to be around all that noise. Ahh the smell of gunpowder.
