novolty targets for cannon

[donk]

We are planing a cannon shoot forthe 06 High Plains Regional Rendezvous. My plan is to have one day a practice and demonstration day and the second day have the compotition. The competition I have pretty well in hand. but I am looking for some Ideas for novalty targets. Something that will impress a crowd of people. Someone has suggested to me 55 gal drums full of water. but I thought maybe some of you might have some Ideas. :hmm:

Please forgive me as I an the product of a Californai demicrat and a northern California biker so it is hard to supress my red neck urges when I see a question like this.How about an old car,or frige ? the punkin looks good but somthing bigger and more reactive (and safe for the crowed and crew) would be cool .

How about getting some old store mannequins and dressing them up in opposing forces clothing, setting them up like they are charging your position and peppering them with grape shot?

Now that would be cool...

Paper mache soldiers would be cheaper...

That would be WAY cool!.But only if there is lots of picture's.

We had thought about using cars or appliances but this will be a full primative rendezvous so we have to stay PC
Great Ideas Musketman. The pumkins would be great but might be hard to find in June, maybe watermellon :hmm:
The maninquins would also be great but what about scarecrows :hmm:
Just kiding musketman :haha:
