      Check with some of the Civil War Artillery units. They have a live shoot once a year with their full size Napoleon and Parrot cannons. They hang a bed sheet a mile away and go at it.

          Shoot it wherever it is legal to shoot firearms (if the particular range allows it). They are regulated like black powder guns, which is to say, barely regulated.
          Here is a video of one that my friend and I made (mostly him). He turned them out of brass.

              Yep, If it's safe and legal to shoot a BP firearm, it should be safe and legal to shoot a MUZZLELOADING cannon. Most breachloaded cannons are considered DDs in Ca. and would have to conform with a whole nother set of laws.

                          Once at Los Altos Rod and Gun club I saw a guy shoot a cannon. He used diet Coke cans filled with concrete.

                              One Lawyer on this forum thinks he know more about being an inmate than inmates themselves.
                              And with his Expertise he has never been an inmate.
