Just waiting for the season, we will probably crack a few watermelons in the mean time, this thing was intended to have a 1000lb+ counter weight, but as is (probably 500lbs) the arm is looking way to much like a bow for comfort.

Yeah, I don't think your trebuchet is supposed to require tillering, that might be bad, lol.

You'd have to see the video (YouTube- big big trebuchet) no water melon but a 5lb rock, if you look hard you'll see it. Went about 150-200 yds.
