Trebuchets?

[Jack Daw at Work]

There is a trebuchet at the Long's Peak Highland Games this weekend in Estes Park, CO.  I take off for it this afternoon....with the help of an airplane.

Huzzah!  I'm on the board for Tulsa's King's Champion Medieval Faire.  I was able to talk another board member into building a trebuchet for our faire 2 weekends ago.  It is not a big one but it worked & did a great job.  It was definitely a crowd-pleaser!

It's the only working trebuchet at a Renfaire in Oklahoma!  I don't know of any other working ones at Renfaires in this part of the country this year.  There might be one in Tyler, Texas' Four Winds Faire next spring.

Next weekend, November 5th & 6th, is the annual World Championship Punkin Chunkin held in slower Delaware. Among the various punkin launchers, trebuchets are well represented. Go to the official link below, click on the 1st banner at the bottom, Punkin Chunkin / SC. It will bring up a series of videos including some mean trebs............

Our son is using the trebuchet I built in 2009 in his science project:

Oh god our school did trebuchets and i got hit in the spine with a golf ball that someone launched. Maybe they should have used oranges as well

Mexican drug smugglers are using catapults and trebuchets to loft drug packages over the border. Wonder how soon it will be before they start tossing illegals over the fence?
