| Any one ever build a big one?? My small one will launch a golf ball about 150 yards. I use a 25 lb counter weight with a 36 inch arm. the sling is 24 inches long, and i use a compound lever on the wieght...pat |

OMG yes! My brother has made a couple of them (before I knew he was doing it or I would've been involved). Remember when you were a kid having either bb gun wars or horse chestnut fights???? Think of a couple of 40ish types lauching rocks at each other with small homemade trebuchets. Hey, not as exciting as roman candle and bottle rocket fights, but for an old guy like me, close enough. build it, and enjoy. |
