We met TrebKnight and the rest of the crew from "Anger of the Mistress" at Camelot Days. Leinad took these as we watched the demonstration.

Ready for the first shot:




The entire process was captured for the second shot:






And then the firing of the cannon:


Maybe TrebKnight will chime in and explain the whole process.

This is the smaller of our two trebuchets. She shoots about a hundred yards. This is a fixed weight "counter weight trebuchet"on wheels. The cannon belongs to Russ, our neighbor at the festival. He demonstrates what replaced trebuchets, catapults and the like. As far as accuracy, we haven't missed the lake yet.
