A plain ol regular potato. Thats it, not covered no linings just a spud.

The contest will be judged by the voting members of Spudfiles, thats any Spudfile member that casts a vote, all members welcome to enter and vote.

Plain and simple, just a hollow out a tater, attach a barrel take pics and a video clip post it up and if members say it's the best, it's the best!

Lined = Anything that covers the inside walls of the chamber.

Rule revision posted at begining of this thread.

2) The barrel must be 2"s long, no longer the 3"s long. Barrel bore at least .177, no bigger then 1/2".


8.) The barrel can be made from anything, and must be mounted to the potato chamber. The barrel CANNOT BE A LINNER FOR THE CHAMBER! The chamber must be all potato.
