Bowling Ball Launching Extreme 360 degree version ─ JoergSprave

This is the 360 degree version... normal version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPWMR... - much sharper image and even including drone footage!
-----------------------
The bowling ball launcher was a success, but many people wanted to see it shooting over a longer distance. So we reconvened, hoisted it up to 23,5 degrees and also increased the rubber draw force from 350 kg to about 580 kg.

Interesting effect! The ball travelled about 100 meters, and at a shooting angle of around 40 degrees it would certainly travel well over 130 meters. Second shot is a pumpkin!
