Pack Howitzers - CC welcome

[londonblue007]

Not sure where this goes, but trying to shoot a pair of pack howitzers while firing is probably a bit experimental...

Shot this at Norwich University, Oldest Private Military Academy in the country, during the "Arty Demo and Competition".
2 teams of 4 cadets, one team of seniors, and one of sophomores, compete. They first fire off the Howitzers, then disassemble the weapons, running each piece one at a time down field 75 yards to the opposite side of the parade ground. Once all pieces are at the second position, the teams reassemble the gun, first team to reassemble and successfully fire thier weapon wins. (Always is the seniors).

The next year, I got this on Video from the opposite side of the parade ground. (figured I got a great shot, why not get some video of it)

Took it with an HP glorified P&S. Probably 1/500 at around f5.6ish. I need to dig up the original pic off my old computer, this is the cropped version that I keep on my external drive. I'll get back to you with those details.
