as it is popularly called is highly addictive sport. Just fire out
few potatoes out of a blaster once and you would want to do it over
and over again. This outdoor sport promises lot of fun and amusement.
If you have never tried
this before, learn how to load the potato cannon in 5 easy steps.
Following safety precautions is paramount to prevent any accident and
injury from this amusing, but dangerous sport.
- Never ever load your potato cannon if you don’t intend to use it immediately. A loaded spud gun is very dangerous. The trigger can be pressed accidentally, causing immense loss of life, livestock, and assets. Identify a target first and then load your spud gun.
- Now get a potato and fix it down the barrel of the spud gun. You can use a broom or a pole to wedge the potato down the barrel. Make sure that the potato fits in tightly in the barrel. If the edges of the potato are trimmed off when you put it in, you can rest assured that it is fixed properly.
- Ideally you must load the potato cannon with potatoes but you can use other things as well. Just make sure that the thing you choose for loading your potato cannon is smaller than the bore of the gun.
- Before you load your spud gun, stuff a wet rag down the barrel. It would form a tight seal and would ensure that pressure doesn’t escape around the object-keeping the object in place.
- Once loaded, shoot your spud gun in right temperature. It shouldn’t be too hot or too cold as PVC pipe can get brittle and may break down, causing safety hazards.
