Milk Jug Trebuchet Target

for the year 2008

Rules or comments that have changed or been added since last year are highlighted like this. Really important things are highlighted like this.

The pictures below 1) show a half-gallon jug and 2) don't have any newspaper at the bottom of the jug. Note, however, that the target is a single 1 gallon milk jug with one full sheet of newspaper wadded in the bottom.

	This is the top view looking down.
Here's a view from the side.
	Here's a view from in the front, slightly off toward the other side.

Note that in the rules, there is nothing that says the target has to be on the same side as the operator (as it is in these photos). Keep in mind, however, that if you do put the target on the same side as the operator, you must be careful not to block the target.
