this is a thread for all of you to post your sweetest pictures. you can post as many pictures you want and as many shots as you want (videos are okay).

and this is to show the power of your cannon not a competition as i first thought of :D

please if you got pictures and basic specs of your cannon it will be great and if you have posted it and link it up it is even greater ;- )

looking forward to a great picture collection xD

I think this would be a great thread to showcase your cannons destructive power. I say keep it, but don't make it a competition really.

I agree with Origin Unknown, it would be a cool thing to have around, but it wouldn't really make that great of a competition because it's pretty easy to photoshop a picture.

This thread's a good idea. Lets hope it doesn't get forgotten. I won't be able to post anything until the spring unfortunately. It's far too snowy here to lug everything out to the range.
