Evan, I`m thinking you could modify it with a shot of air to get some good elevation.  Wink

Nice idea........would probably work for other small rodents as well

Of course letting them go with "trial by ordeal" is the fun isnt it

Don't know How Long ago but someone posted a video of a trebuchet launching a squirrel(s) a good long distance. My self when the rodent enters the pvc and tips it forward might be better if the tipping ignites a cherry bomb or an M-80 or the good ol silver salute. Few extra holes in the length of the pipe for pressure relief. Relocate hell-kill and then release.  Evil Had a few on my dinner plate all cleaned up and cooked good. Then Illinois got pissy and wouldn't let us use .22s any more fer squirrel huntin.  uglystupid2 Remington with a weaver 2 X 6 variable scope. Made head shots somewhat easier. RIDE SAFE.

You can't use a 22 for squirrel hunting? Oh yeah, it's Illinois. They expect you to use one of those cork pop guns.

Yeah, once "loaded" it should automatically elevate and launch the squirrel...ideally in excess of 100fps... Smiley

Evan, you listening to this ? Don't even have to back up and stop. Remote control on your van hatch, remote on the launcher. Just make a 5 mph swing thru.  cooldude more sporting ?
