Interesting Fish, I bet that whips hairs off your arm faster than a shed full of Immac !! I made a crossbow years ago using an old wooden coat hanger and 1/4" elastic, a GAT provided the trigger and it worked a treat. Is there any glass left in that greenhouse ?? :wacko: photopro |

That looks very good, but did you just kill a dog or something when you shot that arrow down the garden?

Hi Fish ,I,m new to this site ,and have been looking at stuff that interests me,and that is brilliant!
:o I like making things for myself ,and have been thinking for a while that I should make a catapult,and revist my youth,and your posts have realy inspired me. Ive just last week ,got a bit of 6x150 alli flat bar, and was thinking of making a milbro style catapult from it,could you suggest some dimensions please? eg overall lenght,width of arms and depth of arms . I,d copy my old milbro,but mum binned it over 20 odd years ago when i moved out :angry:

mate draw a rough idea,then transfer to a bit of cardboard,draw round it onto your chosen material and go from there,as a rough guide 3 inches between the forks will do fine,if you want the strongest bands out there give me a shout.
