Stake Shoot | |||||||
 |
The object is to be the first to cut your stake in two. There are a number of variations such as team size, (usually 1 to 3) and stake size (usually a 1x6, but I have heard of up to 4x4). Sometimes there are caliber restrictions and almost always a rule against multi-ball loads. |

| The cups had water in them and you had to shoot the cup off with out breaking the balloon (hydraulics). As you progress the cups are filled higher with water thus making them harder to shoot off without hitting the water.
