If you were there, great fun was had sending 50# of taters across the yard at last years Crawl.
Time for a competition!
First rule........ Don't blow yourself up, and infinitely more important, don't blow anyone else up!
Second rule.... You must only compete in the first two event categories with potatoes as projectiles, and with either hair spray or mapp gas/propane as propellant.
The event will have three categories,
1-Accuracy. Large paper target with concentric rings with number values. Best score with 5 shots wins.
2-Max distance. Just like it sounds, mail that tater'!
3-Style and design/Exhibition. Anything goes! Custom ammo, scary propellant, yeehaw! :scared: But be safe! If you build a spud gun that looks like a dragon, great. If it functions like a auto-loader, that's fine too. If it scares people with its size and power, even better! Participants and audience votes for the winner.
Building your own tuber-shooter is encouraged, or you may compete with someone else's gun with their permission. Schd40 PVC is cheap, safe and easy to use. Lots of ideas online. Use your Imagination!!!
