Trebuchets, catapults, and air cannons + punkins = Good times.

My teenage son's first job was running the trebuchet at a local pumpkin farm capable of 600' tosses.

I've been out there once before a few years ago and it was a riot! Loved it. Might have to go back again this year!

Tossing anything with a trebuchet is a good time. Pretty sure I saw a show once where they were launching appliances (washers, dryers, refrigerators) and even tossed a small car.

Good times.

My son competed in the trebuchet event for Science Olympiad in middle school, finished first in state and ninth in the nation one year.

It's pretty cool when you can launch giant, heavy, nasty stuff without using chemical propellant.

The only thing I remember about the show Northern Exposure was a guy had a trebuchet.

Now that's a show I haven't considered or heard mentioned in a long, long time. I didnt even recognize Ray's reference to it.
