Don't they use ALOT of air to do the job now? Smile for the cameras too.

ALOT of air ! That is a massive Sullair compressor>> triple axle ! Bigger than the units we used to charge the snowmaking system years ago. Should make a satisfying WHOOSH and echo off the hills  :)

We have an annual punkin chunkin festival about 10 miles from where I farm but sad to say I've never made it, always during harvest you know.  This year with the drought and early harvest I hope to make it, they shoot those babies a long ways and it's really turned into a big event over the last few years.

P.S. I could really use that combine in the background, it would greatly improve my odds of making it to the the chunkin  ;D!

Another rainy day here, but they were chunkin away !
It's not very noisy, I'm a little disappointed... Guess I've lived in a black powder neighborhood too long  :D

I made a video but can't get it out of the camera ::) I'll try for another video or pic in a while.

The combine is gone today. Hope it's not a target  :o  ;D

Seem like I saw this on The Discovery or history channel last year. Not much noise,but the flight makes up for it.

Pretty much like golf to me: I can't see the pumpkin !!

I went to another spot where I thought they might be coming back to earth but I haven't seen one sign of a pumpkin, yet  :D

 Ray, I have a few pumkins of my own here in the garden if push comes to shove, I can defend myself.  ;D :D

I saw that on discovery also, some of those cannons where awsome to look at  8)

Almost every year the guys from Myth Busters go and do a special of the World Championship Pumpkin Chunkin contest in Delaware.  Its pretty good show. Some of those guys have a ton of money and a ton of time invested.
