Pumpkin Chunkin'

[metalspinner]

It's that time of year.  Anyone working on pumpkin chunkers? ;D

I've got a sling shot type design in the works right now.  This has been shooting the little pumkins a pretty good distance.

It sure is fun to see it explode. ;D

Mr. Mom,
This was just cobbled together this afternoon.  I would love to see something that big, though.

that is a good picture!

back when I was in college, they'd have a pumpkin drop contest, they'd drop them off of the top of a 10 story building, while aiming for a target, and the goal was to not have the pumpkin break. 

a group of kids from the local highschool would always win

We had our big cub scout fall fun day yesterday.

520' on our pumpkin chunker. It may have rolled a bit farther, but for the lake it rolled into.  That beat all other machines! 8)  The standard has been set for next year.  Bigger and better for next time.

I'll try to get a couple of pics loaded up soon.
