<P>Yes, thats exactly what I'm suggesting. <IMG height=12 src="http://216.33.240.24/emsmile.gif" width=12> Probably the distance the spud flies should be determining factor for trophy. If you want to impress those jet skiers, attach a silk handkerchief to your spud before ramming it in barrel, and fire a "shot across the bow (or nose)". Any ideas for cannon design, event location, and date?</P>

<DIV></DIV>Are you suggesting an A30 version of the Punkin Chunkin that is now an annual event on the Eastern Shore? I got my tater tool ready.....
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>BTY, the jetskiers are easier to hit if you use the functional equivalent of buckshot--tater tots, suitably frozen....and it helps if you slow 'em down with a liberal sprinkling of toothpicks in their area of operations. The picks float, so the A30's water intakes are not affected if you need to leave expeditiously.

<DIV></DIV>Mike,
<DIV></DIV>How about a potato cannon competition at one of our raft-ups? The targets would probably have to be more benign than jet skiers, but it would still be fun.

<DIV></DIV>It probably comes as no surprise that I have a potato canon too. They're
<DIV></DIV>easy to make and fun to shoot at jet skiers, but boy do they get pissed.
