Mr Rizzini Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hi all Im looking to make a simple clay trap that will throw clays one at a time in a consistent crossing fashion so I can practise over and over again on the same type of target. I already have a hand thrower but every clay goes in a different direction and I find it not reliable in providing a steady target everytime. I know there are cheap traps about on ebay etc but at the minute they are still expensive to me and if anyone has any plans for a basic unit or perhaps a traps lying around that they are willing to post I would be very greatful. cheers all.

Mr Rizzini Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 £350 is way to expensive for what I want it for mate, I only want one so I can have a couple of days of none stop shooting with my ole boy to try and get our crossers more consistent.

demonwolf444 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) Its 40 quid.. whats not to like? http://www.ronniesun...CFQzKtAodzmgAPg Its likely to be cheaper in time and effort than welding together old angle iron and sourcing springs and elastic..

Joe D Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Mr Rizzini, I dont live too far from you mate, I think I was speaking to you on the phone. If you want I have a trap but nowhere to shoot it. We could meet up and have a rattle if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I have one almost identical to the one in the link, £40 had it years and never gone wrong. Throws single or double clays a good distance and is adjustable for speed and trajectory. The only improvement I made was to weld a stronger frame up with bigger spikes so it can be sledgehammered into hard dry ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Rizzini Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I dont think there was enough snow to fill them potholes lol got the 425 but could use a 3/4 and skeet choke (invector) as they are missing.

Joe D Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 The invector chokes for a browning are a nightmare to come by mate, I was searching for ages. ended up getting a 3/4 choke of a fella of a different forum who didnt have the browning anymore but still had the choke.

Keep your eyes out on this forum. They do come up (although invector plus is more common).If it was me, I wouldnt worry about the three quarters. Half and full is fine for most situations apart from skeet - I was shooting quarter and skeet today. I was up at RJs today for a blatter. The lane is no better ...

Big Al Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Where is RJ's boys? I wouldn't mind a visit myself sometime. Its full title is Ballycarrickmaddy Shooting School. Its a very small operation just outside Lisburn. Friends and aquaintances can shoot on Wed and Fri afternoons - but the best way to get in there is to take a lesson or two with him.
