Pumpkin carve

[pan60]

the Pumkin Carve is coming soon!!!
get ready we are going to have some prizes for. the winners again this year.
we have some great spongers once again.
I will be sarting a three just for retailers and mauxfactors to post in and make their offerings known.

as well I will start a thread for the discussion and one for the pics.
we will follow the same rules and judging I think as last year I make make some tweets but the general Idea is going to be offering points for difiucty artistry and presentation.

so start watching the stores for pumpkins and get ready for some fun.

I nearly ran over one of these in the flesh or scales last week and I had a thought, just didn’t know if I could pull it off.

Today
20y
BRK Sniper .22 unregulated
UTG 4-16X44
DonnyFL SHOGUN
Benjamin single die
Rain heavy, medium, and light.
Winds 13-22 later 11-18

When I started setting up, it was windy then it started to rain. No stopping, I pushed all the way through.

I filled the Sniper about six, seven or more times roughly 700 pellets I kept shooting all the way down to 70 bar. I did have to stop to clean the barrel. The accuracy diminished at the worst possible time when I was trying to shoot the iris and I decided that one was going have to be a crazy eye. Most things down here are at least half crazy anyway .

I shot this from my Florida Room where I could keep dry.

Dedication! Using a steel backstop judging by the flattened pellets?
I'll bet you didn't hand pump the gun back up this time around?
