Various other pictures from the chunk.
After Roman's Revenge pied their 3rd competition shot, some pumpkin research was initiated. Eventually Michelle (Bob Carbo's new wife) decided that they needed to be cooked and tasted too.
Installing a whistler into a punkin. Mr. B later shot this pumpkin, the the acceleration was so great the whistler fell out and smashed into our bowline protector, preventing us from shooting any more that day. The purpose of the whistler is to make a noise while it is recorded from behind the machine. Doppler effects can then be used to determine speed.
Hey, was this the guy throwing punkins backwards into the parking lot?

The 2006 World Championship Punkin Chunk was a great year for both Mista Ballista, and the entire Torsion Class.
Records were broken (Congrat's Marc and the Chucky team) and Mr. B broke all team records for distance!
Mista Ballista left it's mark on the Chunkin field with two throws over 600 feet, but getting there wasn't easy.
Our first two days were plagued with bundle winding problems. On the bright side, we made it through the year without breaking the arms, or any other major throwing component of the machine. Huzzah!
When Adam (of team Chucky) stands up on stage and says "TORSION RULES", he means it.
Chucky II of the torsion class out threw all other catapults on the field with an amazing throw of
over 2000 feet. Wow!
