In victoria bc, they have a citrus shoot out into the bay--which is
right downtown. Great fun. Oranges for cannonballs. The key is to
balance the powder load so you get the most distance without turning
your projectile into orange juice.

It's be mighty fun to take a cannon you made yourself down to show off.
Talk about cache.
