Preparing for Long Rangers 2

Trying to make an exploding ping pong ball so I could at least participate in this challenge and have a little fun also. I know I’m not eligible because I’m outside of America but I’ll have a go anyway. Filled the ball with talcum powder, not as spectacular as the pcp challenge but at least you will see when and if I hit it.
Too windy today, have my 91.44 metre (100 yards) already marked out. Can’t wait.

Edit: You have to enlarge it and look very very closely as my videoing skills are up the creek.

Looking good. I got lucky yesterday with the very little to no wind for my attempt. The tree's are swaying sideways again today. Anyways good luck on getting those ping pong balls to pop.

Thanks John, it’s bloody windy here as well. These blustery southeasters hang around for about 5 days. At least it will give me time to improve the “ pop”

The phosphorous tips from strike anywhere matches and some black powder does the trick

May have hit a snag. I’ve been preparing my back drop and sampling white and yellow ping pong balls. The white appears to stand out against the black back drop better. Here’s my problem, neither my iPad or iPhone can zoom in enough at 100 yards to clearly identify the ball as in Johns successful attempt. Bummer, I’ll have a go anyway and see what happens. Will have to wait though until the wind subsides.

John we should be able to see this improved ping pong ball pop (that’s a lot of p’s) at 100 yards. Here’s hoping the wind drops soon.
