Step 11: Finished! - Try it out
It is now time to test your Booby Trap.
To load your Booby Trap simply pull back the Rubber Band and hook it on the Latches hook.
Then put whatever projectile you wish in front of the Rubber Band. You'll be surprised how far it shoots the object.
Below is a video of me testing the Booby Trap to make sure everything was working correctly.

I wanted to make my Booby Trap more sensitive after filming this video. So altered the angle of the latches hook.
Comments, Pictures and Ideas are all greatly appreciated.
Any updates to this How-To will appear on my website FlyingTopHat.co.uk.

It used to link to my old website, which I am in the process of changing. I can assure you however that there have been no updates to this Instructable.
I was worried that you left or you died because your website was down for a while.
I joined because of your(this one) instructable!
My goodness! Having just looked at your Instructables I remember coming across your paper claw over at Make Magazine and wanting to make one. I'm glad to have played a role (if only very small) in getting you to sign up and show your obvious talents.
I still routinely visit the site and partake in personal projects however very rarely post anything. I think I may just have to start posting new projects again. Even if very small "booby trap" ones. Especially if it encourages more people to join the site and share their projects.
I also have an instructable that is coming up that is better than all my instructables combined, or at least I think so, I was a finalist in two contests in a row, and I didn't win anything, so I am making this "secret" project for now so I wouldn't just be a finalist next time, but a winner hopefully.
And I am glad that you are back, I hope to see some more of your instructables soon! I have made a few every now and then since I saw this instructable.
