As approved for 1 year period by vote of the units present at the annual meeting of the Continental Line Inc., February 16, 2008

1. Loaded Gun – Artillery, both in battery and battalion, upon completion of loading to have the #3 (Rammer) and #4 (Worm) gunners stand outside of the cannon wheels in a present arms position. The #1 (Firing) gunner will raise the linstock above their head, which will be the signal for a loaded gun ready to fire.

2. Cannon Misfire – When a cannon has misfired or its safety zone is violated, both #3 (Rammer) and #4 (Worm) gunners will cross both the rammer and the worm over the cannon barrel and the linstock will be lowered to the ground position. This is the signal to take just care to stay clear of the artillery piece.
