CATAPULT KIT


Make your very own Medieval catapult with this fun and easy-to-use kit. This mini wood version can be built in around an hour or two and can shoot a ball over 15 feet! Adjustable pads on the crossbar allow you to change the trajectory angle. The rope, strung through the middle gives great power to the swing arm. Made in China.

This kit includes pre-cut and drilled wood pieces, rope, clay ball and instructions. All pieces are pre-cut and drilled so the model is incredibly strong. All you need is glue and scissors (not included.)

Comments about CATAPULT KIT:

I bought this catapult for my boyfriend, when I heard he wants to build a regular size catapult or trebuchet. He absolutely loves it. This gift allowed him to practice even indoor before he realizes his big plan and avoid unnecessary mistakes. The model looks very neat and it is a lot of fun to play it.

Comments about CATAPULT KIT:

Bought this for my brother in law who is very hard to shop for. The second he got it out of the box we were measuring and checking trajectory, it turned into science class! I pride myself on getting gifts for people that they want to play with immediately and that no one else would ever get them, uncommongoods makes it easier to keep this up!

He loved it. Works as engineer on planes, was catapulting ball bearing around shop. Stated one of his best gifts from me. He loved the fact that some people didn't know what it was.

THis was a great gift for an 8 year old boy. My son is really wanting to have one too (guess I know what to get him fo rhis brithday). It realy catapulted the ball and was just challenging enough to build with an adult.

This product was needed for a school project. It fit together nicely. I was worried because some kits don't always line up correctly. This worked perfectly and he received "104" on his project!

Comments about CATAPULT KIT:

My 9 year old son and I easily built this catapult within an hour or so. We enjoyed building it, and it works well. It's a smaller project than the trebuchet.
