Dont know very much about these. I am looking for one that is reasonably priced but reliable. Anyone have any experience with these?

It will probably be used quite a bit right before hunting season and in the spring and kind of sparing the rest of the year.

I have one like this LINK

Mine is a different brand, but same idea. Runs off a 12v battery, foot control, adjustable (up-down, left-right, spring tension adjustable to regulate speed). Was a father's day gift. I like it so far.

I recently picked up a Champion WheelyBird Auto-Feed Trap from Amazon. They have excellent reviews but have not had a chance to get out and shoot with it yet due to work. I added the extra remote that allows me to launch from 120 yards away...

The Do-All "White Wing" trap machine (12 volt) is a little more costly ($400 on Amazon) but you have the option of adding a wobble kit (+/- $200).

Lots more fun with a wobbble trap.

I looked at it, but the reviews were really poor compared to the Champion...

It moves the thrower so the path of the clays changes randomly...

I have the Do-All Aerial Assault.

It's not the highest quality machine. You will more than likely be tinkering with it along the way. You will also more than likely have swithes go out pretty frequently.

However, Do-All's customer service is AMAZING! Every time I've sent an email about something, I've gotten a response and a replacement part sent out immediately.

My Do-All is now 5 years old and has thrown well over 50,000 targets. And it's still chunkin'

my bro-in-law just ordered this one but its last years model. he got it for some ridiculous low price. it due in today and we are taking it out to shoot this weekend.
i've got a do-all manual thrower that has been pretty trouble free except for the assembly. it needed lock washers to keep the nuts and bolts from loosing up. its thrown thousands of clays.

Just bought one of those also. Had to change the wires around to get the foot control to work but like it a lot

Get a hand-held one and duct tape it so a broom stick cut in half. Those never fly the same twice and much more challenging imo. I've had both.



When you think you're good with that one, get one of these.
