Sorry I haven't been here in a while, a little too depressed. Yes, the event was cancelled due to the shooting. Absolutely the right call as the shooter was still on the loose. But still very disappointing. I had too machines set up and ready (more or less) to go. My onager Bad Wolf would have annih...

The Snohomish Pumpkin Hurl, which should have been mid-September, has been cancelled due to lack of resources and the organizer's illness. Boo!
As far as I know the Burlington Pitch, usually last weekend of September, is still on.

WCPC is back on! Or so they say. I guess I'll believe it when it happens.

I think Modred (which should be "Mordred, King Arthur's nemesis) was invented by Walker. Not sure, however.

At Snohomish, U-Name-It became I-Broke-It. At Burlington, Mixed Nuts JR becam I-Broke-It, JR. It was an EXTREMELY stupid failure. MNJR is a small King Arthur. The second trigger pin is pulled by a pair of cables hooked over ears on the counterweight arm extension. Their intentionally designed so the...

Setup day is in the books! Not the greatest day hurling; although the worst day hurling is still better than the best day doing most anything else. We set up for my first test shot and a couple of folks mentioned that my truck was parked about 20 feet behind the machine. I told them I wasn't worried...

Burlington coming up in less than a week now. I've switched my entry from the failed onager to the old reliable JR in the lite division, so I hope to have a good comptetion with RtB and Ballistikraft. Sounds like we may have four decent sized machines if 4H and Christi can get their communications s...

It was trying to. But I wound it too tight without first extending the cylinders to get the load in the middle, so it was still reacting at the bottom, bending in, and pried itself apart. I've got ideas for next year. But the best idea might be simply to demolish it all!

See you both at Burlington, I expect. Maybe good competition between Ballistikraft and Mixed Nuts Jr.

I've a good bit of work to do in the morning to unload my truck and fix up the onager so it's even save to trailer back to the alternate location so I can tear it apart.

LogCraft just used the long log arm extension once, then shortened the original one that broke and went with that. They were hurling with great consistency and will be at Burlington. They tossed a 20 pounder on their final throw today -- almost straight up. Crowd loved it, of course. Don't know how ...
