    Pumpkin carving

    Yes... correct place for this thread.
    What id love to see is pictures of some long range pumpkin carving over the next couple weeks.
    Everyone's always going on about one holing and clover leafing - well let's see some eyeholing and sharp teething please.
    The one rule is you should only use a 1.77 or 2.22 pumpkin carver! �� (traditionalists may use tumshies!)

    Hi fine making the front but how do you stop pellet going straight through, And how do you do inside. What range should be used, can you show an example please.

    I think it's a great idea.. leave scooping out the inside to last, so the goop will act as a backstop. If it's going too fast, put the pumpkin further away. Or get a wooden board offcut and cut a slot inside (goop still in place), sliding the board into the slot to stop the pellets in the middle - then remove when goop scooping later
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    A great idea but won't these huge calibres decimate a pumpkin?

Great thread idea by the way thisisdonald: inspired.
