TEXT INSTRUCTIONS

  • Mount cannon using one of the supplied mounts (winch, tabletop, deck, etc.).

  • Tilt cannon barrel all the way up.

  • Load at least 3” fuse all the way in the small fuse hole on top. You will feel it stop.

  • Slowly pour no more than 5 grams of black powder or Pyrodex down the barrel. Tap or shake the cannon to get the powder all the way to the bottom. 

  • Use about 3/4” mound of wadding and gently push it all the way down the barrel. Push/pack the wadding down firmly with the ramrod. 

  • Note: the wadding is more important than the powder! Start with small pieces of wadding rather than the whole chunk, and pack each piece in as tight as possible. This creates the ‘compression’ needed to properly ignite the powder and create that loud BANG! you’re looking for!

  • Point the cannon in a safe direction. 

  • Put on hearing & eye protection.

  • While lighting the fuse you must yell “Fire in the hole!”

  • Step back and enjoy!

  • Wait 10 minutes before loading again to ensure no hot embers remain in the barrel.
