I'm shooting pumpkins today that the local stores were all but giving away, left over from Halloween. Good times

[billyscott]

Done that!

It's fun.

I will give some as well, I hate them trees, wish I had time and skill to make a bow out of them.

Had a neighbor said he made bows out if them once. Said he'd make me one but dude was so dang weird that i had to pass. I really like cool longbows and handmade stuff so that tells you how weird he had to be.

Osage Oranges!

 

Very dense wood, was used for making bows a lot back in the day. You can take the fruit and (supposedly) use them as an insect repellant under the bed.

Bodock.. Very Yellow! and very dense wood.

That never worked for me. Tried it in my shop, the apples just rotted and the bug level didn't change. My dog loves to eat the stupid things, though. 

 

I think I hate those trees. Clear a few fencelines of them and you will, too.  :rofl:

At first I thought this was a joke, but it looks real.

BIG LONG TIRE POOPING THORNS!!!

I always thought they looked neat. In Cleveland there is a tree on the greenway between 25th St. And 20th St. Ended up finding a nice "brain specimen" to bring home a few weeks ago just because. Ended up reading about them a bit. Read that they can be a skin irritant and thought "no big deal". Later that night I realized I had a chemical type burn on the hand I carried it with (mainly worked like a chemical peel. No big deal but lots of dead skin). I always thought they would be cool for a Halloween display if done correctly (jars, liquids, right colored lights, etc).

We used them as makeshift baseballs as kids.

 

Fun.

Defiantly one of the best targets to get a kid interested in shooting. I set out a shooting bench with a front rest & a rear sandbag with my Savage .243, I don't think they can miss them at 100yrds. 

 

When we get done it looks like we have been slaughtering aliens. Green parts & whiteliquid dripping from all the trees.

My wife and I love the wood, it turns well and has interesting grain. I've never dealt with the fruits but they look like fun targets.

sawed up one of the trees some years ago with a chain saw late in the evening, the wood caused sparks from the chain!

Kinda curious now what my .300WinMag would do to a pumkin, woooo.
