Plus they have one that throws a golf ball 200 feet which is better then my drive sometimes. Image taking it to a golf course and playing 9 holes with a couple of different sizes of catapults.

this machine is only 34 inches tall, 18 inches long and 7 inches wide.
Engineered using modern mechanical principles and computer aided design, this mini-powerhouse can hurl a golf ball over 200 feet. It uses guillotine action and a plunging beam to maximize potential energy and a floating arm to convert that energy into projectile motion. Precision crafted of high quality hardwood, the kit contains everything you need to build a working model.*

nice huh?

nice; the first time I saw it, I thought that it was massive with all of those "trees" in the background.

This egg throwing trebuchet sounds like a silly sport. Why can't you just stick to traditonal sensible things like Gurning or Dwile Flonking?
