Title: Corona protection
Post by: hotfxr on April 12, 2020, 06:53:15 PM

Being forced to spend this much time at home with the family around 24/7 will cause me to lose what's left of my mind. ucrzy So it's time to make sure I am ready to protect the home stead from toilet paper thieves and cowans. Had a bunch of lino type lead and it worked perfect for casting the cannon projectiles. Plus packed up 32 one ounce powder packets.

Going up to a ranch next week to try out the new projectiles with the rifled liner. If we can get the cannon up to a certain ridge, we will have a range area of 1000 to 1500 yards to test the accuracy. If not, and I don't see how we can drag that beast up there, we will have a 300 yard range to play with.
Just remember, when you need real protection, are these the guys you want?

"So it's time to make sure I am ready to protect the home stead from toilet paper thieves and cowans."

I have never been exposed to the word "cowans" before. Thank you for introducing an upgrade to my vocabulary.

"Badger's Beast" is cleaned and the Powder charges are ready (5 lbs of 1F individually prepacked, and 2 lb balls) ready to be pulled from the powder room to repel any boarding parties...

Yep, that thing going off and pointed at intruders would definitely repel what's left of them. (susp)
