Default RE: Have any of ya'll shot watermelons before???

what are some other things that blow up when you hit them.
find a safe place for this one.....a gravel pit is fine if it's big and empty.

Get two 2X4 studs about 12' long and sit a gallon of gasoline in a milk jug in the middle of the two studs set an 90 deg. The two studs set to form a equil legged cross at 90 deg. The milk jug must be square....look at them carefully...most are square.....round jugs will not be nearly as good.

Set the gasoline filled jug (cap securely attached) in the middle of the cross of 2 X 4s and the jug situated such that the flat sides aligned with the boards.

Get back a ways for this and a good rest as you want to hit this thing pretty dead center. Use something like a .270 or .300 mag...hi velocity is good but high energy is necessary here

At the end of each board is a candle sticking up and burning briskly.

Do it at night and take video if you can.....it's unbelievable!!!

shoot it from at least 100 yards.
