This strange sport, also known as 'Punkin chunkin', allows players to use a handmade mechanical mechanism to hurl a pumpkin into the sky as far as possible. ¹⁾

The devices produced also differ considerably from one participant to the next and include giant catapults, slingshots, trebuchets, pneumatic cannons, bolt throwers, and centrifugal. ²⁾

Ralph J. Eschborn II, Alex C. Eschborn, Eric J. Eschborn, Pete Hill, Stefan Hill, John Piel, Verne Weidman, Don Brill, and Harry Harding achieved the farthest distance to fire a pumpkin. It is 5,545.43 ft. ³⁾
