My family built one of these back in 2003 or so. Not from these designs, but from ones we made up. Instead of the ‘bucket’ at the end, we used a short bar from a workout bench, and were able to quickly add/remove weights to it instead of putting the weight into a bucket.
Also, the trick with ‘aiming’ is done at the very end with the angle of the sling release peg - we used a metal rod that could be bent on the fly to make adjustments.
I never get to talk about this, so thank you for coming to my TrebTalk.
