Get your crew together and build yourself a catapult (or 2 or 3 cause who's stopping you?)
Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to build something that tosses TENNIS BALLS at a target with a minor amount of accuracy; Catapult, Trebuchet, Rat Traps, what ever floats your boat! The projectiles are TENNIS BALLS and the targets will be in the field. 5 balls for $15 and most targets hit wins!
Its Ren Faire! Dressing up totally helps your accuracy! *honest*
Send a message to JollyRodgerEnterprises@yahoo.com to get a tossing time over the Ren Faire weekend, and happy building! and happy tossing! and happy catapulting!
