Catapults at tin cans from 20 yards... how many can you hit in a minute using mint imperials as ammo?
definately up for that, but can we not use lead/steel balls instead? mints are way to light in my catty.
That's the whole point... they're irregular also so add a handicap which puts a bit more fun into the competition

Mint imperials shot at Jacobs cream crackers. The wildlife will do the cleaning up then.
In fact, it could be a little bit like the military march and shoot competitions. Say three target areas around different parts of the site and you have to get round them all ASAP, so not only do you have to contend with shooting a catty, windage, small ammo, small target, but breathlessness as well.

Liking the catty run and shoot idea
Nothing to stop us making it better by throwing in archery (3 arrows, random bow, no practice shots) into the event. So maybe two slingshot plinks, 100 metres apart. One from 25 ft and the other 50 ft. Then run 50 mtrs, archery. Then another 50 mtrs, slingshot 25 ft from prone position (lyin on yer belly). Then a 100 mtr dash to the finish. Total time, plus penalties for misses. Fiver into the pot, winner takes all.

What the proverbials are you trying to do us Eric, kill us all off??
There is no way in my current state of health and extremely poor physical condition I could do all of that

I was thinking the other day about bush furniture making and a camp break competition for the tastiest loaf...

I dont think I would get very far in that, trying to convert between metres and feet everytime.
Sounds good though but not sure about money, can we use chocolate instead?
Bannock bake off with a twist? The twist being that you have to find the ingredients, bring them back and the first one to make a bannock and/or passes the taste test wins?

But you don't have to do it fast. Anyway, there will probably be an old codgers section for thee, me and Fenna. We'll be allowed to walk/hobble and have people at waystations giving us Jura as we pass.

The camp bread competition would have to be all in plain view, otherwise someone is going to buy a crusty loaf from Lidl and stick it in their dutch oven to get warm. The bush furniture comp sounds good.
What about a thrilling mix of firelighting, archery skills and a cooking contest.
A team will be needed of 3 men or women, the first will light a fire as soon as possible, then the fire is used to ignite an arrow and with that arrow a bail will have to be shot at a range of ( input your thoughts here) then a torch lit by the fire from the bail will have to be carried to a cooking spot, all cooking their own special meal. The activities will all get their separate rating, and will be judged on time and quality, fire lighting only on time, archery on the time it took and the number of shots fired, and cooking on taste, originality, and speed. For this there will have to be a board of judges but hey I already heard we have some willing spectators, and now they will even be granted a meal ^^
How would you like that John ^^
