The invention provides an improved finger-held sling and associated systems, kits, and methods of use for delivering an attractive scent to an area that is remotely located from a user. Advantageously, the invention creates little or no undesirable noise and does not necessitate introducing human scents into the delivery area. Kits of the invention are compact, lightweight, ready to use, and do not require the user to apply an attractant prior to use.

A projectile launcher including a frame having a grip and defining a projectile axis, a drawstring hub rotatable mounted to the frame and defining a central axis perpendicular to the projectile axis and positioned a fixed distance from the projectile axis, a drawstring being attached to the drawstring hub so that movement of the drawstring results in the rotation of the drawstring hub about the central axis, a limb coupled to the frame and extending along a vertical limb plane, and a power cable coupled to the limb and the drawstring hub so that rotation of the drawstring hub about the central axis draws the limb closer to the central axis.

A firearm launcher for holding a projectile includes a launcher body attached to a firearm barrel; and a tension member cooperated with the launcher body. In one embodiment, the tension member is connected with the projectile.

A wagon and catapult assembly provides a toy wagon that carries a detachable catapult. Assembly allows children to ride and operate the toy wagon, and also operate the catapult in a prone/sitting position, or while standing. The assembly comprises a toy wagon and a detachable catapult portion attached to the wagon. The toy wagon comprises mobile portion attached to a body portion to enable mobility of wagon. The body portion is foldable. Further the body portion has one or more fixed rear sidewalls and one or more detachable front sidewalls. The front sidewalls have a pair of leg depressions that enable the child to sit in a prone position while operating catapult and/or riding the toy wagon. An elongated handle pivotally and detachably attaches to the wagon for manipulating it and providing stability while operating the catapult. A seat detachably couples to the wagon.

Embodiments herein include void-free material depositions on a substrate (e.g., in a void-free trench-filled (VFTF) component). In some embodiments, a method may include providing a plurality of device structures extending from a base, each of the plurality of device structures including a first sidewall opposite a second sidewall and a top surface extending between the first and second sidewalls, and providing a seed layer over the plurality of device structures. The method may further include forming a dielectric layer along just the top surface and along an upper portion of the first and second sidewalls using an angled deposition delivered to the plurality of device structures at a non-zero angle of inclination relative to a perpendicular extending from an upper surface of the base, and forming a fill material within one or more trenches defined by the plurality of device structures.
