Ballista Kit

A Ballista was a powerful weapon, originally invented by the Greeks over 2000 years ago, and widely used by the Romans in battles and sieges. Using the stored energy in twisted sinew, the Ballista helped the Roman Empire take on and conquer countries all over Europe! 

Based on drawings and written records, Ballista Kit re-creates the way in which torsion powered weapons worked and can fire the small wooden projectiles included over fifteen feet. Build it in about an hour from natural, untreated wood, and begin your imaginative play!
