Since the October DARS launch was rained out, we have moved the Extreme BP contest to the November 18-19 Turkey Shoot launch in Windom.
Stuff as many black powder motors as you can into a cluster or stager (or clustered stager :o) and come on out for lots of fun and some prizes, too. First prize is a Madcow Rocketry Buzzie . This is a really kewl 2.6" kit with a 29mm motor mount. It's one of the most complete kits I've ever seen. Besides laser cut fins and fin slots, it includes a kevlar shock cord and a nomex chute protector. And, for the purists, it comes with balsa nose and tailcones.
Second place and farther back will get to pick from a selection of cluster motor mounts courtesy of
Other events at the Turkey Shoot include: o DARS Classic contest for vintage rockets o Out of production motor launch o Cola Wars for rockets built using plastic soda bottles o Model and High Power sport flying for everyone
o We plan to put up some hybrids, too. Keep your fingers crossed.
