Well just take your time and move up slowly, like 10 psi at a time. Theres no reason to be afraid of your cannon if you trust your work, but I do understand where you are coming from. I was shooting one time at a old monitor. The golf ball went through the whole thing and after that ricocheted off of a tree and came back wizzing past my head at about 200 m.p.h. about a foot away. At that time I almost shat myself!! Never underestimate the power of compressed air!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Go Bruins!!!!

Thanks for finding those. But I have a driving range near me where I can can 200 for eight bucks. I just haven't gotten around to going there.

Some video cameras are extremely poor at picking up the true sound of cannons. I've had hybrids sound like ball valve pneubmatics due to the camera and environment.
