A bunch of pumpkins have been lottering on my front steps for a while (they got there a little before halloween) and have overstayed their welcome. They just started to go bad, getting a little mushy here and there, not keeping up there appearance very well, feeding the squirrel with parts of their bodies. No little kid should have to see this (I'm doing this for the children).
So I rounded all of them up. Some tried to roll to expose there soft side so that I might get goo on me and leave them be (it's one of there defense mechanisms). I put them in the back of the truck and away to the firing range we went.
I set them up at various distances to give them a sporting chance, loaded up the Cobray M-11 and let loose on one of them (there's nothing like full auto on pumpkins). I hit him about 5 times out of the 25 shots that I had in the mag (the damn pumpkin did pretty good at jumping around to avoid the bullets.) Then my girlfriend let loose with her new Ruger P90DC.45, Damn pumpkin dodged all but one shot (hey it's a new gun and the first time she shot it).
So, by this time all of the other pumpkins were laughing at us, thinking we just suck. Well, we showed them. We got out some guns that we could actually hit stuff with(me Calico M-100, Calico Liberty II, Romak-3, Carcano M91/24, Russin M38 Finnish capture, Russin M1891 Finnish capture and Frommer Stop Model 19. Her Ruger P95DC, Ruger P91DC, Ruger mini 14, Ruger Blackhawk .357 Ruger 10-22 w/50 round mag (she doen't like Ruger or anything)). We commenced to show them who was boss (who's laughing now you damn pumpkins, that will teach you to go bad at my house). The neat thing is if you shot at them long enough the turn into a whole other vegetable - Squash. I think they learned their lesson today and if I could have found most of their parts, I might have invited them back to the house.
Oh.... by the way.... exploding targets work real well on them (if you can hit then - that is. It only took 65 shot to hit the damn thing, but when we did there was pumpkin guts everywhere).
