Re: Storm the Castle B
I haven't really been able to know for sure because I don't have a room with an exceptionally high ceiling to try this in, but I can estimate a max to be about 26-29m (with 40g 2.5kg). We shot 21m with 2.35kg and 50.3g at state (which I think was the farthest on the day). I also have one of the best trebs in my state so don't be discouraged.WIcheese wrote:How far are your trebuchets best shots, mine is 20m.

No we underplaced the far target and overplaced the close target. Had we hit the target we would've won.10manwire wrote:And you didn't win state?

Re: Storm the Castle B
Our trebuchet got third at Regs. It hit the target once.
