Psycix and I went to the Chunkin event in Bikschote Belgium.
We were allowed to shoot some apples and spuds in full view of the 7000 spectators...in the centre of the field!!
YEAHHH!!!
I used relatively low pressure because the organiser was a bit weiry of the concept...
But all was fine and he granted us our own division next year...so basically a spudmeet with an audience!!
He would like us to come with bigger and more powerful cannons and hopes we'll bring some buddies to compete against!!
Wonderful!

I had a great conversation with the American team Onager, the 2009 world champions in their catagory..(who got beaten by the Belgians who got 726.4 meters with a katapult btw)
I showed them my aircannon wich they loved, I told them about me being a mod here..guess what? They know Spudfiles!..
This guy asked me if I knew about guns...I said :"some.."
He told me his brother has one of the first lever action pistols ever made...
So I said:..Oh the Smith and Wesson Vulcanic with the cartridgeless ammo?
He was stunned....
Yeah I know a little something about 'em...
It was nice meeting fellow vegtable-chunkers...
Who knew Americans could bring a " weapon" to another country and NOt start a war?
Just teasing...they were great!
It took them 4 weeks to get the Katapult across the pond...
It took me about 2 hours to get there..
