Field Gun Competition Redux: Too Good to Leave in the Comment Section.

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jim @ 4:05 pm

Yesterday I posted the video of the Royal Navy Field Gun Competition. Check it out. Pretty amazing stuff. Our friend Carl stated in a comment to the post, “A man was killed doing this back in 1982. The competition ended in 1999 due to government spending cutbacks, but seems to be restarted this year.”

He provided the link to the following video, which shows the Royal Navy Portsmouth Team training for the competition. This video provides even a better look of what this event involves and has convinced me that these lads are crazy it takes a very special person to decide to take up this sport.

I’m surprised only one person has been killed doing this.
