"A cannonball? How crude. Perhaps Mr. Maser would be interested in advanced weaponery ... like a "laser"."

that’s Fayette County....if you’ve ever been there, you wouldn’t ask why or how....

that ricocheted and hit a house 400 yards away If it could ricochet and still go through a wall 400 yards away, I would call that a pretty powerful cannon.... A rather unlikely scenario.
One begins to suspect that there was no ricochet, and that instead Mr. Maser simply failed to check the direction of his shot.

I live within earshot of Shiloh, Corinth, Hatchie Bridge and Farmington. This happens more often that people think. Usually its a neophyte with a new cannon that fires a cannon with solid shot.

Been a long time since I have heard of this happening. Years!

The cannonball, about two inches in diameter, smashed through a window and a wall before landing in a closet. Authorities say nobody was hurt. State police charged Maser with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.
No one answered the phone Friday at Maser's home. He tells WPXI-TV recreating 19th century cannons is a longtime hobby. He says he is sorry and he will stop shooting them on his property, about 35 miles southeast of Pittsburgh
I'll say so!
