At first, I was going to cover cannons in one video. Then it became two. Then it became three, and here we are: hopefully, this is the fourth and final video. When I first started researching cannons, I only skimmed the instructions on how to aim 'em, and found them to be rather arcane. But after receiving requests about it, I couldn't quite shake the itch. So I decided to dig into the period manuals, both the English and French, and it doesn't seem quite as complicated as I made it out to be.
