    Automatic skeet thrower

    Hey all, just picked up a new shotgun a few days ago mainly to get back into shooting skeet. Used to do it every weekend till I sold my previous shotgun.

    So my question is who here has/uses an automatic thrower? Make, model, features, likes, dislikes, pro vs cons.

    I know they get pretty pricey mainly just looking for a entry level model, really just seeing if its worth it over just getting the trusty old hand load and curb stomp thrower. Thanks guys

    Do you have room to build a skeet field?!

      Yes if I find the time and motivation. But 40 acres of pasture works for now

        No experience with the electric throwers. I am happy with the hand throwers for now.

            I use a trap called a "Do-All white Wing". Ive had it for several years and I really like it.
            Runs on a 12 volt battery; easily fits in the back of my Ranger. Throws a clay 70 yards!
            Holds 50 clays. I have a wireless remote so I can move any where on the field for a variety of shots. I also have an optional attachment that moves up and down and from side to to side which adds more difficulty and more fun.
            Best part, for me, is that I can go break some clays by myself...don't need a little guy to throw 'em.
            It's great! Maybe sounds like I work for these guys...nope.

                Thanks for the info. I remember glancing over this one earlier. As you said being able to go out by yourself is nice. Not likely for me, usually someone wants to roll but on the rare occasion it would be worth it. To hear you've had it awhile too is good, I don't want to drop $500+ for top of the line but I don't want a $100 broke in one weekend POS either.

                  I don't own one, but all the people that I've asked all say Atlas throwers are the best. They're made in America, too.

                      It's a really good launcher, much better than the manual ones. I've been wanting to get one for a while.

                            I own the Champion Easybird and I would recommend it to anyone.

                            I've put 1000's of clays through it and not a single one has broken. It is very heavy duty and should last a long time...but only time will tell. There are numerous upgrades that can be purchased as well, I have added the wobbler kit to it and it adds to the fun of not knowing exactly what elevation the clay will be launched.

                            I have no experience with the Do-All thrower at all.

                            If the Easybird is out of you price range, them look into the Champion Wheelybird, which is a more economical thrower that looks good too.

                            Good Luck!
