Freedom Day!

The 10th annual Freedom Day, sponsored by the Freedom Day Foundation, sucked me in by inviting the New Ulm Battery to bring up their cannon.

What was being fired today were saluting charges—no projectile. So I didn't get to see how hard it was to ram a projectile down a rifled barrel. I'd think that might be fairly difficult.

A couple of people talked to me about getting copies of pictures. For web use you're welcome to use the versions here of pictures that you or your stuff are in; I appreciate a credit when possible. If you need printed copies or higher resolution electronic copies, please email me; I'm basically reasonable.
