5Surprisingly Fun and Effective  Feb 12, 2010
By Picky Mom
I have two sons who are very interested in knights and castles, as well as the associated weaponry. They wanted to get their father a catapult for his birthday. They worked together on the assembly and then enjoyed using their creation to launch Play-Doh balls across the kitchen. It works! You can really get some distance with this little contraption. As you might imagine, they decided dad needed a trebuchet for Christmas.

4Bought for my 10 year old son  Jun 30, 2009
By Keith Lowe "Keith Lowe"
I bought this as a project to share with my 10 year old son. We put it together in less than half an hour (other than some time to let the glue dry). He had a blast, learned a lot, and was thrilled with the whole process. The kit was very easy to assemble.

5Great kit  Jun 14, 2010
By P. ODELL
My grandson needed to build a catapult for Social Studies class in six days. No other instructions or directions were given. Thank goodness for Amazon! The kit was shipped and he had it built with a day to spare and he got an A for the project. This is a great catapult kit; very well constructed with nice wood that stained beautifully.

4it's a catapult  Jan 07, 2011
By bill
It is a catapult, it fires small objects across the room. Things like mini marhmallows, dog food, and marbles work well. The trigger slips and does not hold down the arm, but could probably easily be fixed. If your thinking the price seems kinda high, well it is, but you already know that. It is sturdy and looks good.
