Funk's Farm - 9/30/00

On a beautiful fall day in Pennsylvania a group of seasoned punkin chunkers gathered to do some "serious" chunkin. There were 4 catapults and 4 air cannons, all shooting for a car parked in the field, or just shooting for distance. The cause was a noble one - to help raise money for Leukemia. Several thousand people came out to see the chunkers and we all had a great time.

Team Carbo with the Onager at Funk's Farm near Lancaster, PA.

The contest today is one of accuracy - the target is a car which is 550 feet away. Bob eyes up the target to get the Onager ready. That's Pumpkin Slayer next to the Onager - another majestic catapult from North Carolina.

Andy cranks on the new flywheel assembly to get ready for another shot at the target. You can see Hypertension in the background.
