Possibly the most insanely bad ass "sport" ever: Royal Navy Field Gun Competition

Holy fuck... I had no idea this was a thing till just now...

It almost seems like a joke...

This needs to be an olympic sport.

This is one of those sports I fully appreciate and respect, but am not entertained by. Though it does look rewarding to successfully finish.

I'd heard of this before, but never watched it before. Crazy sport and yes, it should definitely be in the Olympics!

Would rather have this than golf in the Olympics without a doubt, but Is this really a worldwide thing?

This is pretty cool. I'd also like to see this as an Olympic event.

I'd imagine it was back in the 1800s, but probably not so much anymore.

Love to see them do this with a more modern field gun, like an M102 or something haha.
