here is my biggest question. Do the dang deer eat potato plants? :p:p

Not much of a problem with the potato plants, but if you dig the potatoes one day and pick them up the next the deer will eat some of the potatoes.

One spring I dumped about 10,000# of excess potatoes and the deer had a feast all summer.

Hey will your 22 mag go through this many phone books? This was done with a mini spud launcher that we made to shoot in the basement. It was firing wood plugs at the time. The barrel was placed through the hole to show the passage.

those are a lot of fun, aren't they? one added little trick i used to do was take a large pipe reamer and ream the ID of the barrel, then, as most people do, grind a taper on the outside....it made the tater fit in VERY tight......i did cut my wrist once when loading one........

i haven't made one for years, i have some friends that hasn't evern seen one....."THE original salad shooter!"

i started an air one but never finished.....


good times!!!
