Happy for someone to start a new thread if they like I think it’s been discussed enough. And should be plenty of time to figure out a pumpkin and sling it

The weather here has been awful today and yesterday (my only days off for a little while...) so it might be a while but hopefully I'll get the nail challenge and pumpkin done during the same slinging practice.

Hmmm... does it still count as the pendulum challenge if the slinger is swinging instead of the target?

Swinging nail in a pumpkin on a bike (someone else needs to try slinging on a bike it's really fun).

Nice Kick.  So close.

I love the slow motion destruction part.  The stretched out sound of the impacts had a strangely relaxing effect.  Similar to a thunder storm.  Great video!

Here’s a preview of my nail challenge entry. My wife found a portable soccer/tennis net for $12 today at the store.  Since I finally had a rock-worthy backstop, and since it was a nice overcast day for shooting video, I made a real attempt at the nail challenge.  The rocks were fairly large, and I think I got the edge of the nail from 10 yds (Hit 1), and I might've grazed it again with one shot from 7yds (Hit 2). I will need to look more closely at the video.
The mud on the end of the nail is because the target kept falling forward into the mud. 
Video coming... eventually Smiley
