After seeing some recent catapults made from plastic pipe I decided to have a go at making one out of plastic myself.
I bought a 200mm x 100mm piece of 10mm thick HDPE plastic and decided to use a recent design of mine as the frame.
Firstly I marked out the outline and started cutting with the jigsaw.
Then one cut I started so sand and car e the rough plastic away.
Final shaping was completed using a knife and dremmel
I then fitted it with double tapered TBG.
I then weighed it to check it was lightweight at in total with bands it's 75g
I shoot this support style and TTF. It has nice power as the video shows.
