    more hurling

    and I thought about a different type of hurling which I dabble in....

    the catapult/ trebuchet/ballista crowd refer to their activity as hurling as well. I have a little one for hurling golf balls [36" arm] in my dinning room

    "the" link is here:http://www.trebuchet.com/

    It sounds like you are talking about something similar to an atlatle [sp?] or Jai Alai?

    Cerebrite,

    That is very off topic! But as the son of an engineer I can only say...

    Trebuchets are cool!!!!
