How do you launch a trebuchet?

trebuchets were launched by first tying down the throwing arm. then its sling was loaded with projectiles. it was released when the sling was full. The counterweight on the other end of the throwing arm dropped, pulling the sling up and causing it to hurl the projectiles. this had to be done every time they needed to launch the trebuchet. if you don't know what "projectiles" means, then just look it up.
