Potato gun shoot

[spleify]

Ok, this was discussed last year and I want to get this going.

I am thinking about end of July, that way it will give us plenty of time to plan and get the rules and conditions in place and folks can plan for it.

So I am thinking July 21st.

We will need to work on the where, how etc.

$5 entry fee. ALL money will be paid back in cash prizes, First place gets 50% second place gets 30% third gets 20% I will donate some paracord stuff for prizes and some T-Shirts.

I think we will have two shoots, one restricted class, where there will be some very light and basic guidelines and rules, and then an open class, which will basically be a "run what ya brung" round.

All thoughts and volunteers are welcome, so if you have an idea of how to set up the guidelines post up and we will use it.

If I am in town I am in.. We need to set some limits on the type and volume of gasses that will be allowed, or not....

This sounds like it could be a ton of fun. Let us know on classes I might have to talk to the guys at the shop and see what we could put together.

Yes, for the restricted class there will be a few loose guidelines such as, propellant, size of tub, size of projectile, etc. things like that. The open class.....well, that will be a whole different story.

What about a homemade Golfball cannon using pyrodex?

Were we talking about having someone draw up a release form?
Explosives can be......well......FUN.

Yeah someone posted on the old thread that was lost during the crash that was going to draw something up.

Can I fire potatoes out of this:


They'd be flash cooked, if you don't mind a little bit of sulpher. Because it is sawtooth rifled it could peel them on the way out.

I'm still excited for this. Let me know if you need me to do anything to help Spleify

[spleify]

I will take all the help I can get.

Any suggestions on how to create some basic guidelines
