Champion Range and Target High Fly String Release Manual Trap for Clay Shooting

Works perfectly, I mounted to pull cart for stability, great price very pleased

Most of these throwers are basically the same, if you put it together right and set it up right they work fine, if you don't, you are in for a bad time.It took about 5 minutes to assemble properly (yup, even with directions and pictures I managed to put one of the parts on backwards and used the wrong bolt inside the spring).The main thing I can say is the unit needs to be stable to do its best work. I was using it alone with my foot on the back for stability which didn't work well at first, the unit jumped every time I pulled the cord and how much it moved dictated how bad the clay flight was. Then I moved over so that the front legs were hooked on a concrete parking barrier and I was standing with my foot on the back leg. Not only did it start working flawlessly. In fact, with every throw the legs dug themselves a little deeper into the gravel parking lot that I had been unable to stomp them down into at all making the unit more accurate and more consistent.After the first few awkward pulls of the cord with my hand I started standing on a fairly taught cord with my right foot and using my left foot that i had on the back of the thrower for stability to step on the string between the eyelet and trigger to release the clay. After a few minutes of that, I decided the foot 'pull' was the way to go so (as you can see in the pictures) i wrapped the string around the angle iron and now it works like a pedal.It threw consistent singles and doubles all day. The only clay it broke was one that slid out the back when I put my foot on the thrower before the legs properly set into the gound (I was using the highest angle)

fun to have on the ranch but had to mount it to a metal table, works well and is easy to assemble

If you are looking for a competition grade fully assembled thrower, this ain't it. If you want something super affordable and are willing to assemble and mount your thrower this thing packs a punch. Our 1st time out with this thing we mounted it to a spair tire and threw 400 clay in an afternoon. Most of the bolts came loose. I applied a little loktite to most bolts and cranked down on the locking washers. The next time out we spent a whole day with 15 of us shooting clay off this thing. We threw a 1000+ pigeon and only lost the eye bolt for the pull string. Everything else stayed right and tight. 3rd time out I had tacked a small pipe to the frame for the pull string and mounted it to a larger wheel. With some strategic crimping on the throwing arm we got that sucker throwing doubles like a dream. It's going to break at some point but I have already gotten my money's worth.

For the price it’s a great value. For the occasional skeet shooter it works great. I bought one before and used it occasionally and then had a men’s fellowship event with it which did it in. The throwing tray(for lack of better terms) broke. I’m buying another one because of the value. Hopefully this one will last longer lol.

Great product at a great price! We purchased this for our son for his birthday and it has quickly become a favorite among the “big boys” too!! Easy to load and you can load multiple birds at a time. Easy to use pull string. Endless fun and great quality!

Had one years ago. This feels just as sturdy. Kids unwrapped it Christmas morning, along with their new .410 semi-auto. Took about 15 minutes to assemble thrower. No issues. We went outside and within two or three shots, the kids were turning those clay pigeons into so much dust. The thrower is consistent, which is important when teaching new trap shooters. You want to know where that clay is going so the shooter can predict its flight path. As i set the clay in the arm, i knew exactly where i was about to send it. That condistency is key. It throws doubles just as well. Just put a few more turns into the spring to account for the added weight. Path and separation very consistent. After a couple doubles, the kids were asking for two every time and they were busting them. Im really happy with this thrower.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE PROCUCT If there was a no star option I'd pick that. Instructions are terrible, everything is loose and it barely throws one skeet properly more than that good luck!! You'd better be good at manufacturing just to get it together and have extra parts for it when they all loosen up and fall off. Spend the extra money and buy a different product I know I wish I did.
