Not that I am aware of Rob, unless you want to count anvil shooting.  Big Grin 

Plenty of civil war reenactments and rendezvous, but nothing like field gun comps. Although Tom does have it out with an old computer hard drive on occasion utilizing his cannon. Smile

Those lads in the Royal Navy certainly earn their pay with the display they put on. They are some tough cookies. Cool
