A: Trebuchets were designed to throw large round rocks that weigh 250lbs. Our trebuchet is designed to throw the same thing. We substitute pumpkins and other such objects for the sake of safety.
A: The effective range for a 250-300lb. load is about 300 yards. This is with an 8,000lb. counterweight load. The maximum counterweight load is 20,000lbs. Q: When can I see it in ACTION?
