Operation Fruitcake

Since the guys at Omega 380 fashioned a new aiming device for their fruitcake cannon, we decided to see just how accurate a 23 foot long fruitcake artillery piece could be.  We all know the tale of William Tell and the apple, but an arrow just seemed too easy.  Omega 380 team member Josh Deupree bravely volunteered his body to science for this experiment.  I think this goes without saying, but don’t try this at home! Be sure to check back soon for our next Operation Fruitcake episode!
