MOAB — A team that shoots pumpkins from a giant air cannon says it achieved the holy grail of the sport: chucking a pumpkin a distance of more than 1 mile.
The team from Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey says it launched the 9.5-pound pumpkin at Moab’s old airport Friday.
A licensed professional surveyor, Mike Keogh, says he measured the distance at 5,545 feet — that’s 265 feet longer than a mile.
