Trebuchet

our second trebuchet of this scale (the first one is smashed up so don't ask for it it was never filmed) we guessed that the range was somewhere between 220' and 250' but it was hard to tell due to the trees.
the ammunition was usually a lacrosse ball for distance or a water bottle for arc and power. the water bottle only goes about 150'.
we altered the sling for quicker reloading and (we think) more distance. I will video the firing arm and post it later.
Oh and add the fact that thheres no counterweight that works for that arm and it means that it's a catapult w/ a trebuchet-like sling
