Even though I was forewarned of it's upcoming, it slipped past the mark when I wasn't looking!

The thanks goes to one and all who have supported, observed, partiticipated and contributed so much to our individual and collective enjoyment!

Well the first 2000 hits were just Tim and I posting messages back a forth to each other and hitting the refresh button a whole bunch of times.

But after that the avalance started.  We have had a bunch a great guys come through with a wide diversification of interest; Big cannons, little cannons, toy cannon, real cannons, making cannons, shooting cannons and collecting cannons. All Tim and I have to do now is sit back and enjoy. Thanks Ladies and Gentlemen.

We also have a large bunch of Cannon sponsors we thank.  Your Sponsorship does more than keeping just this forum going, it helps the whole Graybeard Outdoors Board. for that we thank you.

So lets get on with it...next goal 1/4 million!!!!

Only 300 more hits on the Resource list and it will go over 20 grand!  We still claim the most viewed post on GBO.

Thanks, Bill, for hosting this forum!  Looking at the 100k there isn't 1/10 of that between you, DD and I.  The interest and support is Y'ALL out there in TV land.

And how many sponsors do we have?  Special thanks to these guys for paying the bills!

And another real big THANK YOU from me (Blaster - Bob in So. CO) to Bill, the Graybeard, all the sponsors, supporters and those who post all the interesting items relating to BP Mortars and Cannon.  I visit a few other web sites pertaining to guns etc., and I am usually reluctant to post any questions on those sites as I feel I'll probably have some "expert" jumping down my throat for asking something that I "should" already know.  Here, it is still a very friendly/helpful  atmosphere and appears that it will remain that way.  Thanks again to everyone reading this message. :D

I’ve been here a little over a year and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't learn something new.

Thank you to all that are part of this crazy hobby.

The resource listing just hit twenty thousand views! I wonder how many folks have fallen "victim" to this "addicting" pastime thanks to this board? I know where I got my start in this fascinating hobby - DD and CW and Graybeard, many many thanks.
