That would be a bugger to get braced.

Love to see the braced and full draw

It is powers a Da Vinci catapult. I will see if I can find pics on line someplace. The TV show was available for several years

Can you post a video of stringing it? I cannot see the usual push-pull technique working well with this design.

I saw a show on PBS where they were bending a Hugh piece of oak for the tongue of a Roman Chariot somewhere in Turkey. Steamed it for hours and used hydraulics to bend to shape.
I want to see that catapult in action. Cool stuff.

If you have HBO you can watch it on the discovery channel, it is a series called " Doing Da Vinci" The name of this show was giant catapult, I don't know which episode it was I think #7.
