How far did the projectile go?

[madscientist1100]

@trck1313 the projectile went a few hundred yards. Not as far as i would have hoped for all the work it took to make.

heyy good job with the balista :D pro work here~

so i have a question , how is the winch released??

me and my partner are kinda stuck on how were gonna lock and release our balista =/

[madscientist1100]

@terrence1993 It is a wheel lock style trigger. you push a bar down and it allows the latch to spin on its axel. Its a pretty simple design but it works well and its prettu safe. Its very similar to the sear and trigger mechanism on a hammer fired pistol.

was that a ratchet strap you were using? ^_^

[madscientist1100]

It was a winch for a small boat trailer.

i'd love to be in your school

why you don't paint the arrow white red or black, it's more vissible !!!!!

I'd wear some safety goggles if I were you..

You built a ballista for your school project?! And there was me thinking I was cool with my illuminated Iron Maiden box :(

[theskiboarder1997]

at what point would a ballista be a school project?

[bezerk47]

this is awsome is it built off the Alexander the Great modle or a different Roman model?
