Re: Catapults At Championship

45's catapult is a pair of recurve bow (as in "and arrow") limbs, pulled back by winding a strap around a spool with a motor, and released to shoot by pneumatically disengaging the motor. With the right ball basket, it'll land basketballs consistently within a few inches every time.

3940 uses the original "fling-a-pult" design.
