The mention of 7100 # of force is rather meaningless here. The key is the torque, change in angular momentum and of course, speed of the projectile.

yeah if that thing released that at the right angle i bet it would flyyyyy

@vespermk Well, that's great! IF he "catches" it, he'll have a 20lb pumpkin smashing into his head 240 mph! And I like dogs.

@omgflyingbanana sadly he never catches it. He tries.... alot, but never catches it. And now that he is getting older he most certainly will never catch it.

how did you make your throwing arm??? it looks like you put multiple pieces of lumber together, but how did you connect them to each other?

No we went through a local lumber yard that got us in touch with a custom beam and truss making factory. They special made this glue-lam beam for us.

@vespermk update. our beam broke last year, So we rebuilt it with 2"X10" pressure treated lumber. Glued together with a heavy duty construction adhesive. and screwed every foot. This beam is so much stronger and doesn't flex. The other beam failed because it was designed to be protected from the elements. Even though we painted it, the paint cracked from the beam flexing and moisture worked its way inside the beam and over the course of 4 years rotted it.
