Judge, I saw the same show this A.M. Looked like a pretty versitile thrower. Who was the manufacturer? I saw the one in Cabelas that looked like it swiveled the same way. I have never shot clays-skeet and the like but am going next weekend. I found the instructor on that show to be pretty informative and helpful. I have been trying to see how those techniques feel here in the house with the 390. Pretty good free lesson.

Judge, just a little friendly help. If you want to by a manual trap. Buy a Lincoln. The Lincoln "falcon" is the finest manual trap that I have ever used. I have one now that mounts to your receiver hitch. I've worn out most every manual trap made and it's hands down...LINCOLN....

Model 12 is right on track about the Lincoln traps. Of the three models at our club (Lincoln, Ibis and Universal) the trap boys like the Lincolns the best and they are the easiest to work on.

In any case, try to go with a "3/4 peepee machine". This is the type that rotates through 270 degrees when it throws a target and then it only has to be pulled the last 90 degrees to re-cock it.

Lincoln makes the best manual traps. If you are serious about a good "home" course, most guys mount a remote controlled small automatic trap with a remote control on a trailer they pull behind a 4 wheeler, and pull it from station to station. Does away with the need for additional trappers, but you can only run 1 group.
