I’m assuming we can get creative how we do this, as long as we shoot them?

I will add it to cut the tops out of them before you start because if your useing some more potent guns they can bust things up pretty baddly.
anther thing I do is draw out what I want on paper or print off line and have it next to me as a reference.
and you can draw on the pumpkin if you choose to.

Are you allowed to gut the pumpkins first? I want to try to keep the back from getting obliterated

That was my plan too.

yes
you can do anything but carve it with something other then a flying p;eet shot from a airgun : )
some have reportedly tried filling the gutted pumpkin with stuff stating better results even?

Last two years I topped & gutted them, then filled with rubber mulch. No pass throughs with .177 & .22 pellets.

Knew we wouldn't be able to create anything to jacko lantern like....so drilled some holes for paint balls, and had at it at 50 yards! Got the entire family shooting and enjoying!
Had the RAW Hm1000x, BRK Ghost, AirMaks Katran, and the Dawson Rapid.
My son all but claimed the Dawson....my daughter enjoyed the Katran, and my wife was smoking paintballs with the Hm1000x. All in all some great fun! Though we were shooting in off and on showers.

My daughter needs to learn how to close her one eye without using her hand. Though she had a blast and went through quite a few pellets and slugs.

She should leave both eyes open. Try putting a piece of scotch magic tape on the lens of her shooting glasses over her non-dominant eye. Or a big ol' fingerprint will work too.

Yeah will work with her this winter. She will need to close that eye if she wants to shoot bow with her brother and myself. She is doing good so far, little by little.

I have a similar problem with my young son. He's right-handed and left eye dominant. He refuses to shoot left handed and can't hit anything he's aiming at shooting right handed. He doesn't like the scotch tape trick either. I'm at a loss to find a way to make shooting fun for him. I may try pistol because with a 2-hand grip, he can shift his hold to his left eye while still controlling the gun with his right hand.
The weird thing is, as I get older, my dominant eye seems to shift. Especially in the evening when I'm tired.

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.
