TREBUCHET !
pulling the
winch cable
setting the
winch cable
winding up . . . . . and winding up . . .
. . . and winding up!
"Is it beer-thirty yet?"
clearing the shroud lines on the sling (very important!)
setting the firing pin . . .
. . . fully cocked!
loading the projectile. . .
. . . locked and loaded!
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!"
PULL! . . . beginning launch . . .
.. . and . . .
. . . IN FLIGHT !
