Welcome!

Nero,

I was thinking the same thing - Siege Engines 101 or AQTs at a 1000 paces.

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."
---Robert Anson Heinlein

Been working on trebuchets with my daughter.  We've built two so far.  First one was for tennis balls, good for about 100 feet.  We're finishing up the second one now, threw a 5 lb pumpkin 276 feet on our first day of testing.  I knew we were doing something right when I asked my 11 year old nephew (who catches snakes in his spare time) if he wanted to fire it.   He stared at it for about 30 seconds and then asked if it was safe.

it, can never refuse to come forward when he finds that she is engaged in dangers which he has the means of warding off." --Thomas Jefferson to Elbridge Gerry, 1797.
