@Derek Haha true. Though all the lumber was cut on a mill by my dad so it wasn’t store bought.

@Joey Yeah. Me and my 2 brothers and a couple long time buddies. We threw concrete balls cast from soccer and basketballs.

@Rick My brother tried throwing pumpkins and they just disintegrate because the sling of the trebuchet goes so fast as it throws.

Good times. 187 yards is the record throw with a 30lb ball.

@Robert Forrest Interestingly during sieges when they reach a stalemate they would throw rotting carcasses of livestock and, disgustingly, also decomposing human corpses. This basically splattered the interior of the fortress being sieged with disease and filth.
