We made a trebuchet last year for our son's middleschool science class. It was lots of fun and we found it to be quite accurate. Our small version was perfect for tossing ping pong balls. My son put our instructions on his site along with a link to a video he made of target practice.

A buddy and I crafted a functional miniature trebuchet a couple of years ago. We used it to toss paper clips and bits of scrap metal/wood across the shop at work. We could have just thrown the scraps, but this was way more awesome.
