How to Build a Popsicle Catapult

I had a science project with a few friends to build this small tabletop catapult, I got a bit carried away. If you pull the catapult back far enough, the object that you fling (possibly a ping pong ball) will go very far and if you aim at somebody's head, that'll be a big bruise.

damn I was looking for an actual mini catapult that powered by a weight not a rubber band

[TSRAA]

@gootch420 Then you are looking for a Trebuchet.  And rubber bands can be pretty powerful.

@TSRAA is there a way that the "sling" wont loose? I mean is when its loose, it has low accuracy. I have made it (did all what you said but customize some parts like the cup) and i have bad time targeting and thinking what to do to make it more accurate (not loose)

sorry for my bad english, im from other country and i dont usually speak english.
