Kul, very Kul...Mr. Larry Burton, owner of Bear Wallow Farms...where the KPM holds our annual weigh-off has one similar!!! He shoots 10" pkns!!! It is an amazing thing to see in person!!! If everyone is real quiet, you can hear it hit the ground over a half mile away!!! Funniest story he tells..."first year I built it, I had too much power, and put two or three pkns, thru the roof of a barn on the next farm, almost a mile over"!!!! LOL Peace, Wayne

steve, this year for sure i am going to load up a huge pumpkin, carve the bigpumpkins.com logo on the side of it, and head down to delaware for the show and some major partying. should be some great exposure for us. as the date approaches i'll be posting to see if other growers are interested in joining the caravan. hoping to land a few minutes on the science channel special or something. -jim
