the great pumkin carve

[pan60]

guy its almost time for the pumkin carve again
i will be posting the guidlines in the next week or so please follow a;ong its going to be a blast and we are working to get some cool prizes!
so far i have comitments from a couple of the venders and i hope more will be coming on board.

 

[pan60]

So here is what we have I wanted to post this a bit early for a little input before we get sarted.

For pump guns and springers we are thinking10 yards.

For pcps 20 yards.

If folks want to maybe offer an opportunity for longer range some thoughts on that in a second.

Use a small pumpkin that would be my recommendation
or shooters can have a choice of a paper target for those who might be too young or too old and lack the ability to get to a store to find a pumpkin.


the community will serve as one vote and we will have two moderators offering one vote each.

So the voting will be for each shooter in three categories.

1 difficulty (here is where the longer range shots can come into play)

2 artistry

3 presentation

Difficulty - someone shooting a pcp rifle at 10 yards will have suffered less of a challenge versus a shooter shooting a pistol at 100 yards.

Artistry - just how good does it look.

Presentation - how well is it presented to be judged. Is it back lit in dark surroundings? (I would recommend participants do this). Was there any effort placed in the presentation please do.

Each of the 3 classes can get up to 5 points for a total of 15 from an individual voter.

Votes will be averaged the points based upon the number of voters to get our total possibility of 15 points by the community.

Then each of the two moderators will offer judging with the same guidelines for 15 points from each judge.

The community will have 15 possible points total and the two moderators would have 15 each for a total possiblety of 45 points.
The most points get first place, then the next most points gets second place and so on.

I think a thread that allows everyone to post their pumpkin pictures please show the gun and range if possible, at least the gun and state the gun, scope, pellet and distance.

As to the start date we are thinking the middle of this month. Voting would start after the close. A new thread for voting will be started? Or possible add to the existing thread? thats up to the boss.

We have some venders that will be offering some gifts to the winners this and like last year it will be a blast!

Let me know if this all make sense as we dont want anything complicated : )

thanks pan

 

[wolfmangreg]

[pan60]

will be coming up with a downloadable pumkin target that can be printed
and the the boss and moderator will be ask to participate but will nit be eligible for any winnings : )

10Yards for springers? You just insulted my TX! I'd think bigger caliber makes the work go faster, smaller allows for more precision So this was done last year on Ham? Was there a Thread we could research a bit them?

LOL sorry hatfull its that devil that make me say those things

but remember
Difficulty - someone shooting a pcp rifle at 10 yards will have suffered less of a challenge versus a shooter shooting a pistol at 100 yards.

the guideline loose. maybe we should have pistols and pump guns at 10 yards and springers at 20.

I agree, my TX was laughing at that! At 10 yds, I’d just use my TXs bayonet.

So.... Option of real or printed pumpkin ? I'm suffering from brain cramping on this .. sorry...

 

[pan60]

that is the plan I will be getting something that can be printed and post it in a pdf form.
a real punk would be better but we want to make sure everyone can participate with ease : )

so, if it is printed you would still want to consider presentation that part of the points. pin it to a box and back light it. make it look cool.

theres going to be some cool prizes this year so stay tuned : )

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Results/ pictures ,ECT ..posting here or at another site ?

 

[pan60]

here.
there will most likey be another thread for judging but I am not a 100% sure that will depend on the boss and his schedule
but I am working on getting everything lined up.

 

[pan60]

okay not the best artist out there so it is what it is
this is what I come up with
let me know how this looks.
it is about the size of a small pukin so I think it will work

 

[Hateful McNasty]
