Abstract
A catapult having traditional slingshot components implementing a yolk of greater clearance, thus allowing an enlarged projectile pouch to be attached. These features allow projectiles, of greater mass such as water balloons, to be launched with considerable accuracy and distance. Combined with the above described catapult is a guard which protects fingers from the occasional contact which may occur during projectile launch.
