Dear List; I see on TNN that a group conducts an anvil shoot contest. Seems this had been popular since the 1820's or even earlier. Contestants load a "cannon" of sorts with black powder and launch a 102 pound anvil skyward. One demonstrated shoot sent the anvil 563 feet up. Here's the fascinating part..........102 pound anvil falling back down from 563 feet went into the hay field earth.............3 feet deep! Now I know why I find no Wyoming meteorites, I need to be looking in hay fields for 3 feet deep holes! The show was very entertaining. Best, Dave Freeman
