The distance an object can be fired from a catapult can be most easily changed by altering the height of the front of the catapult. Since the projectile's motion follows a parabolic arc, changing the initial trajectory should yield different distances. This is just like a gun, which only really fires at one particular muzzle velocity, but the distance can be changed based upon the angle at which a person fires.

How would you calculate how far a trebuchet or a catapult would fire a load?
Trebuchet: the vertical distance that the counterweight falls influences the amount of potential energy it has to fling the arm on the opposite side, with the projectile. So too would the distance the counterweight and the projectile are from the rotaional axis. Depends on the mass of both the counterweight and the projectile too. Catapult: depending on the material used to store energy when tensioned, and the distance of the rotational axis from the projectile.
