Kinga 11 Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 First time I've made a catapult, other than when I was a kid. Think its turned out ok, shoots as straight as I can expect (any time it goes wonky I'm blaming it on myself! Made from an old blackthorn bush with looped 1745 and using m 8 hex nuts as ammo. I've tabbed it as the forks seem quite wide and I like the idea that they prolong the life of elastics. Anyway, any input greatly appreciated! ATB Kinga 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kinga 11 Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Thanks for the replies. Haha I've already cut a couple of forks. Got a catch box made from my recycling box and old t shirts and a nice little ammo carrier for my belt. It really is addictive, I get to tinker around in my job anyway so I am lucky that I get loads of practice solving problems and making things but I feel guilty making these bits haha its too much fun!
