tracker x-2 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I have no experience with the high end ones. What i did was take your 5 dollar hand thrower and drill some holes in the handle then go to the thrift store and buy a cheap golf club, cut the hitting end of the club off and attach it to the handle of the red thrower.... you have a nice handle from the golf club too. this way you can really get them movin!

PurpleFloyd Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I have the Champion Easy Bird thrower that holds 50 targets. The only thing I would like to add is a wobble and oscillating base so I could get random throws but I like it a lot. IMHO the build quality is higher than the other similar models sold at Gander, Cabelas etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordie Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 This one might be a bit more than $300.00 but man it would be cool to have set up in the back yard.. along with the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanictim Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 About seven years ago I purchased a Do-all automatic trap thrower. It took a call to customer service and about 3 trips to the range to get it going. It puts a lot of speed on the target and worked great for the first season. Next season it started acting up and would not cycle the throwing arm to the launch position. I returned that unit to Cabela's and traded up to an Atlass. I had to make some accesories such as a stand and a remote foot operated switch myself. It isn't the same speed as the Do-all but it has been reliable. I tried the foot operated radio remote from Do-all but gave up on it. Needed to have all the antennas up off the ground to get a consistant signal. The Do-all was about $400 and the Atlass about twice as much after shipping. For practising crossing targets by yourself or shooting targets coming straight in this is the easist and safest way there is. Read the product reviews with a grain of salt as most peoople who spend a couple hundred bucks don't like to admit getting a lemon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archerysniper Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I found my best clay thrower for me tonight all it cost was a few sips of Mtndew and some chips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
