pumpkins make awesome targets lol

Walmart has the same deal. Our plan is to pick up 10-20 tomorrow and have a good time. Also, they have the huge Gords at walmart for .50 as well. And the tiny itty bitty ones with 4 in a sack for .25. Tomorrow will be a good day.

Saiga time, indeed.... while I have _huge_ respect for Techres, and would certainly defer to his opinions on watermelon dispatching... (hard to beat AR15 + tannerrte). In this case, it's not caliber - it is _gauge_ Saiga 12 to be specific!- thanks for the heads up.

And may the pumpkins die for a good cause...

hmmmm looks like I'm making a run to the store tomorrow. I gotta get a few groceries anyways. So this is just an added bonus

I'll try to get pics of what a 12g slug does to a pumpkin and hopefully some 30-06 and maybe some .45 hollow point.

I've never shot a pumpkin. When I was carving one for my youngest kid, however I daydreamed of opening the top (or just drilling a small hole), filling it full of water then using it as a target. I think if it had some mass to the middle rather than being hollow the force of the bullet would be less likely to pass through. It seems as though it would make an explosion more assured. No practical experience here, just day dreaming.

Well..HERE the pumpkins were given away to the Pig Farmers over night. This leaves one pissed off RM. They were there yesterday morning. Why in the heck did I WAIT????

 

[RachelMarie]

Nope, Nope. I take it back. RM is VERY happy. They still had Pie Pumpkins. Smaller? Yes!! Just as fun? YOU BET. And only 10 cents a pound.

Just wanted to share my experience with 12 gauge slugs and spaghetti squash..........awesome..

I shot 1 from about 20 yards and it literally disappeared, evaporated, ect...

thought it was great till I noticed squash all over my wife's mini van and my car....is was still pretty great..

FREE Pumpkins at the Greenfield Wally World. Picked up 6 yesterday and wife got 4 more for me today.

$.10 a pound??? I went to Kroger today and they had pie pumpkins for $1.99 each. Went to Walmart and their pie pumpkins were ON SALE for $.50 per pound (around 1.50 - 2.00 each) I looked everywhere and nobody has any good deals around here on pumpkins.

My 2 boys cried when I told them there were no pumpkins to shoot.

that actually works I know sombody who tried it

 

[jmildoc]

i couldnt find any pumpkins : ( if anyone sees them around martinsville or camby or plainfield please let me know

Cut the top, insert Tannerite, shoot. Fun is had. Much more fun with snowmen and Tannerite.

 

[Deacon347]

Best way to carve a pumkin is a steady hand and a 45. Never done it but really looking forward to it.

 

[tradertator]

Saiga 12 time! Not sure if I have any tannerite laying around here though. This will be almost as cool as watching the big cats at the EFRC shred meat filled gourds
