World Championship Chunk 2007: 10 and under

Search

The 10 and under catapult category had three machines in it this year, and everyone I talked to was plenty friendly. The families had a tendency to disappear after their shots, so I didn't get to chat with them much. First Place - Sister Slinger Sister Slinger has been reliably shooting a bit over 400 feet all weekend. With a distance of around 450 feet, they took first place. Sister Slinger appears to be several oil barrels welded together, with giant rubber bands running down the sides. Second Place - Hatra Ballista Hatra Ballista started with 168 ft, and did worse on Saturday, leaving it in 3rd place till the Sunday shot of 330 ft let Little HB take 2nd place. Third Place - Little Liberty Little Liberty shot 180 on their first shot, and a bit worse when shooting into the wind on Saturday. On Sunday, the had the tools out just before the shot adding a new pin, and more pullback, and increased their distance to 198ft. Not quite enough. Little Liberty is a spring trebuchet with the springs in the middle being bent down to provide the throwing power. I enjoyed meeting everyone down on the 10 and under line. This was a fun group of people. Additional Pages World Championship Chunk 2007: Mista Ballista Mista Ballista returned to Delaware for the 2007 Punkin Chunk.
