    I had to watch it three times, once to observe the recoil, once to see what happened to the target and then the whole lot.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Mr Greasemonkey. I have a few friends who would like to see a demo. We have just the right location over water. I can supply the powder and shot. Perhaps next spring. Is this possible?
    When I die don't let my wife sell my guns for what she thinks I gave for them!!!

    Punt gunning was also practiced on the Venetian lagoon, there they used a type of boat called a Sciopon, a low punt style boat. Some of the guns were huge up to 3" bore. It was banned there in the 1980's.
