SALT LAKE CITY (October 29, 2009)—A team in Utah is hoping the combination of a 90-foot-long cannon, a 10-pound pumpkin and thin mountain air will add up to a "punkin chunkin" record.
The "Big 10 Inch Team" brought their pumpkin-firing compressed air cannon from the East Coast to Moab, Utah, for the competition on Halloween.
The current Guinness World Record for punkin chunkin in just less than 4,500 feet.
Team co-captain Ralph Eschborn says they hope to fire a pumpkin a mile.
He says they've even brought their own pumpkins that the team believes are just right for flight.
