Just sight down the barrel, you may need to add a little for elevation.
Fire a couple practice shots and you will find you can put it right where
you want it.  It isn't any more accurate than the bow, but it probably is
safer and I have never had a tennis ball full of sand fail to make it back
down to the ground.

ok, FAQs don't say, drawings and pictures don't help...
HOW do you get any accuracy out of one of those cannons?
do you mount a red dot on it or is it just a matter of trial and 
error, iow, eventually a blind hog will find an acorn type thing?

I really need to shoot a line thru a hole at about 75'
the area of that hole is about 2sqft.  I could probably get'er done 
with archery more likely than a cannon unless there is feedback 
availability so that I can say that I need to hold higher and a finger 
to the right... type thing.....??????????
