Finally got to really use my Brocock Atomic XR. I tried it out on the pumpkin carve, pictures posted, and that is a great little gun. I think I just need more patience. But my pumpkin will let you know how good of a shot I am. Lol. Good luck everybody!

Still waiting for the weather to settle down. It's hard to complain as we've had little to no rain in weeks. So, I have to ask: I know you can draw your face/design on the pumpkin. Can you score the design on the pumpkin?

 

[Billm]

I see that I'm not the only procrastinator LOL. There is some real creative competition.

we wont rule it out but I would rather you just draw it on. : )

Nahh, it was a bad idea.

Nahh, it was a bad idea.

Why was it bad? I was thinking it would help keep the lines more defined.

I don't think I will use a .25 next time. I think a .22 might minimize the damage but require more ammo.

I was thinking the same thing. My thought process was that it would enable me to use a more distinct design with some sharp angles. It would still be difficult, as I'd still have to color between the lines LOL. One pellet on or outside the score line would probably make it look pretty bad.

That's easy. Don't miss! LOL!

I hear what you are saying. Better to go more organic.

I don’t know Bill I wouldn’t want something like this being counted against me.




It’s not my fault that my pesting instincts took over .

Did you take out the deadly kissing bug?

Carving a pumpkin with a Marauder Gen 3 was a blast. I cut the top off and pulled all the seeds out.

I attempted to shoot a Marauder "M" but it blew the center out. You can see the leg going to the left.

My son (9) wanted me to try a face. So we put a face on and started sitting again. I took some artistic liberties as I went.

The shooting was done like field target with my sticks and a seat at 30 yards. I was shooting 25g JSBs at 870fps.

John

Hey man how many pellets did you guys use to carve the face? 100 or more? I wish i could give that gen 3 a try! Great post brother.

 

[pan60]

so, I have know we have had some bum weather and it has held up some entries.
after a chat with the boss we agree on the topic so, I am going to leave this competition open for another week provided those who have entered already have no objections?
by doing this you guys have to get those entries in even if its in the rain : )

 

[Billm]

We are going to try and knock ours out by Friday. I thought I had a plan, but it’s been done and so I need to come up with a new idea. Our pumpkins are fast becoming biohazards lol.

I only used 40ish to carve the face and 48 in my attempt to carve the "M" logo. I put another 8 into a log at 40ish yards just to finish off the magazine. I took 96 shots in all.

The Gen 3 was perfect off sticks. I am very excited about how well it did and am looking forward to testing a .177 version at 19FPE for Field Target.

Very nice John. It's a lot harder to carve a face than it looks!
