The 2019 Backyard Brawl video contest, courtesy of our friends at Pyramyd Air, boasts nearly $10,000 in cash prizes, plus $3,000 in product for the first place winner.

Entering the contest is easy. Simply order the necessary silhouette targets at the Pyramyd Air website (the targets are free, use this promo code: BRAWL19 and just pay for the shipping and handling), and then make a video of yourself shooting them with an air gun or BB gun. Pyraymd Air is looking for creative, funny videos that showcase the joys of backyard air gun action with safety in mind.
