gearless_chris 1 #2 November 19, 2008 I love it. We occasionally throw evil weebles out in the landing area for targets. I hadn't thought of setting up a bunch of them.

geofsmth 0 #5 November 19, 2008 I picked these up on Ebay. Google "Mega Strike Bowling" and they will come up. It does actually come with a giant inflatable bowling ball. I am thinking of setting up lanes, with entry gates, with teams of two, you know, so someone can pick up a spare. You want to hit them near the end of your swoop not the beginnig at 50+ mph. Doesn't hurt but you hit them with a lot of force and I fear popping them. It needs to be done in less than 5mph winds. Great for sunset loads. They are 42" tall and have a small reservoir in the bottom for water to weight them down, but it does not take much wind to knock them over. Surprisingly, I have not popped any but do regularly blow the valve open on the bottom and all the water comes out like you see in the video. I like landing games and by far this is the most fun. Anyone can play and you can keep score. I will work on crash bowling video. Remember.....don't get fixated on the target and forget about your landing !!!
