M3A1 Stuart Tank At A Pumpkin Shoot!

[Steve Greenberg]

Hello,
I had my M3A1 Stuart tank at a "pumpkin shoot" at Heiser Farms outside of Dayton, Or. today. I fired several blanks for the spectators! Here is a link to a video:

This was a great event with all sorts of neat things to do and see.
Enjoy,

awesome pictures! Are those all basically giant potatoe launchers but for pumpkins?

Pumpkin Cannons

Hello,
Those cannons were built specifically to launch pumkins! They will shoot one around 1,000 yards!

Wish they had those events here in NJ. Looks like great fun and the tank fits right in.

They have them in Maryland a couple times a year.

Soooooooo....that's what rednecks in Yankeeland do for fun. Hold my beer and watch this.

Pumkin Chunkin!!!!!!!

The little train is cool too....if I had a bigger budget I'd have one too.

I always thought a fully functional scale model of a WWII railroad gun would be cool.

Looks like they had some cars and a van to shoot at close range!

I enjoyed the pictures as well. The tank sure is cool. You must be very proud to own it, and get the opportunity to play with it.

Punkin' Chunkin' is on around Thanksgiving as an annual event. I can't remember where, but I think it was on Discovery channel. Those things get crazy range. Last year they sent a 8-10lb pumpkin over a mile.....................
