Punkin Chunkin......
The Troop camped out thia past weekend at the District Punkin Chunkin camporee. The Boys had a blast. Figured I'd show you our design for the Trebuchet we built.
Our troop took 3rd place in the accuracy competition.....ran into some technical difficulties on the distance throws.
They also took 2nd place in the Chariot Race and 2nd Place on the Cook-off...they made a Pumpkin Cheescake pie with Caramel sauce in the Dutch Oven.
Here's a couple of pics of the trebuchet....the weight was solid cement and weighed in at about 300 lbs. the only metal in the whole unit was through the weight and the firing pin...other than that it was all wood, pegged and lashed together.
