    I wounder if he was a member of the Northland Black powder club? Quite a few of those guys had such cannons. One fired large pet food cans full of cement! Bloody loud... I really cant see how a black powder cannon can go off by accident?? if it was a miss-fire and smoldering, surely you would leave it at the range (pointed in a safe direction) otherwise they need a match/flint or percussion cap to fire (surely you wouldn't leave one on???). Not that easy to do by accident. Anyway it sounds like the shooting fraternity lost a good guy.

    A new video from one of the Channels I subscribe to, didn't know you could even call it a rifle.
