Has anyone tried shooting one out of a potato canon, riding on top of the potato?

I have not, but that is an awesome idea. I think the design is sturdy enough to handle it. Beware you have no control of the color you get. My son ended up with a pink one. Works great though

I have never attempted it But to fire a projectile requires pressure to build up inside the barrel behind the projectile I do not believe this barrel could handle much pressure and would catastrophically fail Think of Wile E Coyote using another bad Acme product

A .22 LR blank might send a golf ball 2 feet past the muzzle. Not much fun there. . . . Jim

I don't see why not. It doesn't take a lot of force to knock the trigger mechanism down. I tried to find something to compare using my finger to poke the trigger. I took a can of black pepper out of the cupboard (rectangular tin) and would say that it took about the same "poke" to knock it over as it did to trip the trigger on the target. I would guess you would have to stand close to the target so there is a very good chance that whatever you shoot at it from a slingshot will ricochet back. Make sure you wear eye protection if you decide to try this target.

I no longer own a Trail NP, but, going off my memory, no, mounting a bi-pod would probably interfere with the cocking mechanism. Most people I have seen use shooting sticks.

I would imagine so, nice toy but the shooting feature is basically non-existant.

Yes you can, it works great, every time I shoot outdoors I use it, fit well in the LCD screen, my only objection is the key control if you want to zoom in and move the image, but not grat deal. Buy it.

This particular gun doeant hurt that bad. But u can play with the fps on it and make it shoot further and harder. Ive added some mods to mine and I can knock a tin can off a kids head at a little further than a football field long

You know that is a very good question! I have not tried it. But I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work. I think that it could but I would be sure to prick the potato before starting.

I think it can be done. Haven't done it myself, however. If you call Canon help, they walk you through any problem. If you don't have a contact number for them, let me know - I'll hunt it out for you.

I haven't tried w/ particular model but I did w/ a Red Rider that I think has the same FPS as this one. You have got to make it a good shot though. Practice, practice, practice before you try it.

No, the capacity of the food shoot will not sustain a potato. You will have to pre-cut them.

Yes, A correctly placed shot with the right rifle. . .head. . . it will drop like a ton of bricks and will not know what hit it! Rifle 1000 fps plus. . . .

I can speak from experience. I've shot this with several different pellets and you will not get the target to flip over with a .22 1000fps pellet. It will move though and the paint/stickers get all kinds of destroyed. I did find if I place it on a smooth surface like plywood I could "walk" the target by shooting the lower paddles. While not as reactive, it was kind of fun to walk it by carefully aiming at different parts of the target.

I certainly would not attempt it.....unless someone else was driving. Also, the optics are pretty strong and focusing while moving isn't practical.

cornkid, Try a slingshot-cheaper/more accuracy and power! Go get 'em killer!
