built one 12' tall and we used a bucket as a counterweight originally but you should build a box that will support a much heavier weight if you want more range.
I built one with a 7 foot arm and 300 pound counter weight. Put an ear of dry corn in the sling pouch, wait for Squirrel to enter, pull release and presto, instant flying Squirrel. It's a hoot.
Keep in mind that the older Hartt brother, the one that proposed this idea also is the kid who builds his own anti-zombie weapons. He built a flame thrower!!!
looks like you have the same probs as the one i made.use a heavier counter-wieght, make the weight to bar distance shorter and support the fulcrum point that bowing will significanty decrease power. your sling is too long aswel
you had like 20 tries and you didn't hit the shack once.

Bah, you need more ROOM! Like building it at the edge of a lake or in a field! Distance can be measured SO much better!

you'll get a smoother launch if you attach the weight with a length of wood (but so it can still pivot), instead of the rope.

Ha! I have a scale model War Wolf on my desk, just built. It inspired my brother to ask me 'wanner build a big one?'... might have to be done.

As a bit of an expert in this field, lemme give you a few tips.
First: axle is too long; you lose efficiency from the bending of it.
second: more weight. you haven't given the stat, but I can see the counterweight isn't falling fast enough, and your tip speed isn't high enough.
Also, on a project like this, you should give dimensions, so people can give you improvements.
I will have a video of one of my own trebuchets up fairly soon... you should check it out :)

What's the distance? And how heavy is the counterweight? :p
Note: Great fixed base,man, that's a good advantage for a clean shot with the hurling procession. ^^
