My pumpkin is officially dead I had my last attempt from 10m but was stuck with the same odd stones. I had one glancing hitbut not sure how many throws , maybe 40.
Then I moved the camera close and threw from approx 5-6 m
Bigger stones and trying to hit the old wounds. They were mouldy soft and on both oppisite sides. Had 2 major hits on the soft stuff.
Note to anyone who's doing this , get heavy dense sharp ammo if you want to destroy a fresh pumpkin. If the challenge of smashing a "Fresh" pumpkin isn't do important as just hitting the pumpkin and you want some theatrics they remove parts and let it go rotten. Rocks work great then!!

I'm still kind of hoping I can find a really cheap umpkin somewhere but then saying that it's getting pretty darn cold and rainy so slinging season is quickly coming to an end. Snowball slinging is still a way off :/

Reply #67 - Oct 25^th, 2018 at 4:30pm So I went to the store today and what do they have, a huge crate of "carving" pumpkins , the standard orange ones. They are so much more hollow and I'm sure I could hit it because there bigger than a basketball. Shame I'm busy for the next while.

It's been cold, dark and miserable for the last few days and I'm not feeling all that motivated to drag myself out there...

Alas, I didn’t have time to murder any pumpkins this Halloween, so instead, here’s a non-slinging video of what might have been:
https://youtu.be/Q_eoaiyDgZ8

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler

Reply #73 - Nov 6^th, 2018 at 5:28pm Maybe for Christmas we should have something like an ice destruction contest, along with good ole SITH. See who can get through the thickest ice. Though, our members in warmer climates won’t be able to participate like myself. But it would be interesting to see.
