Default Pumpkin Chunkin in Delaware

Does anyone know about the Pumpkin Chunkin"™ festival down in Slower Lower Delaware? If so, does anyone know the velocity at which the pumpkins are launched from those pneumatic cannons. I saw the distance for the 2nd place pumpkin was 3800+ feet. With a 10lb pumpkin, that would be a lot of kinetic energy. I was going to try to figure it out but need the velocity.

Hey BarnesX, I actually taped that show called Punkin' Chunkin' off of the Discovery Channel. I was thinking that they were hitting somewhere around 1500 fps. Maybe I' ll throw that tape in the VCR and watch it again. On second thought, why don' t you e-mail me and if I can put my hands on the tape, I' ll send it to you. That is, if you haven' t seen it.
