Trebuchet throwing Material List


Magwa

Recommended Posts

I have plans for a mini trebuchet around here somewhere made from dimensional lumber.  Someone could easily upsize it using larger lumber, or if you really wanted to go big, someone with engineering experience could redesign it any size you want.

I've thought about building one about 10 feet tall that could throw pumpkins.  Set it up on a beach and fling them into the lake.  Take a boat out and retrieve them afterward.  Pumpkins float right?

I think they float watermelons or Bowling balls.....

To keep it local, I think we need to launch a bag full of Road Runners.  They're miniature Velociraptors, and evil as fuk.  When the bag hits, they'll all be pissed off, head in every direction, and try to kill everything in their path. 

That's my vote.  Because I'm not gonna be anywhere in the vicinity when that Big sack of Grizzlies goes off...   :thefinger::lmao:

This gets a vote from but mostly because I'll actually get to see a road runner :cool:.  Part of me is thinking this whole road rumnner thing is the Arizona version of a snipe hunt with the forign kid :laffs:

Well maybe in March I'll see one? Previous visits were in the fall so that might be the issue.

We had one ripping around the site last weekend - he was on a mission. Head feathers up when he's looking, head feathers go flat when he starts chasing...   Evil little bastards...  :laffs:
