Lacks release adjustment
Reviewed By: Brian Watson (Canton, NY)
The main problem with this trebuchet is that there is no way to control the release point. The wooden release pin is at a fixed angle. The instruction seem to indicate that shortening it (an irreversible action) will cause an earlier release, but I found this not to be true. The angle needs to be adjusted. All of my projectiles were release on a nearly horizontal trajectory and went about six feet. The sling design is also very poor--projectiles won't stay put prior to launch. A big disappointment.

Manufacturer Response
Reviewed By: Angelo (Toronto, Ontario)
Recently, we changed the supply of the wood. The sticks are currently made in house so they are better quality than before - more square and correct to size to within +/- .005" We also improved the fit of the parts.

disappointed
Reviewed By: Kelly (Williamstown, WV)
To say I was disappointed when I opened the box, is an understatement. I can't believe I paid for a bag of tooth pics. I would not recomend this item to anyone.
