I stand corrected....I never was one for hand to hand combat... i lean toward range and knock down power... never bring a knife to a gun fight.

That's a nice trebuchet. It looks very like the one at Warwick Castle. Although they used man powered wheels like a hamster's exercise wheel where you walk inside the wheel to turn it. The photo above looks like the wheels are to small for someone to stand inside?

the wheels are 5' o/d, arm 22' 350 lbs, arm sling and a-frame give a release point 42' off the ground, counter weight is rated to 2000 lbs (we have fired it at 1100) Range 900' with a 10lb bowling ball at 1100 lb in the counter weight. accurate to 6' at 900ft. The firing of a burlap wrapped ball with 2 cups of coleman fuel at ten-o-clock at night into lake Estes brought the stands to their feet and a call from the police and fire marshal. It was a Beautiful Thing.
