High quality build combined with super customer service...
By kandoro on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2009
Simply put there really are no flaws in this product...The strength and design are excellent..I'm a flat/lock washer type of guy so I decided to add these where plausible as they were not provided...Even so the total assembly was about 30 minutes... It will throw about 80-90 yards with no wind and I can verify it will throw 50 yards into a 20 mph wind...I suppose with some tweaking one could coax 100 yards...Heck anything over 60 yards is really difficult to hit so 80-90 yards is plenty for my needs...The throwing action is relatively smooth considering the violent movement of the arm to deliver the trap...This is where the extra heavy build and weight come in handy...Not to mention the counter balance which also smoothes the delivery. I also tried it with and without the wobbler...While I prefer the convenience of all the extra angles available it's somewhat more difficult to cock the trap arm each time because the unit is trying to move as you pull...So if you are forced to use someone who is not that strong to cock each time it might be more prudent to leave on the original unit which remains totally stationary upon cocking... The customer service is superb...My unit arrived with the pivot arm attached somewhat offset so they sent me a whole new trap head...Then I wanted to order some extra wobbler bushings for the future but instead they just gave them to me under warranty...I don't how one could ask for more than that... I have taken a few years off from trap shooting because of neck and back surgeries...Had I know about this unit sooner I can assure you I would have started back up much sooner...The ease of cocking this 3/4 unit versus a full one is HUGE...It's makes loading and throwing a pure pleasure and actually fun whereas the full cock units can wear a person out rather quickly and turn the whole event tiresome...My unit actually moves around closer to 7/8 than 3/4 so it almost fully re-cocks itself...Of course I've made sure the bearing clutch and pivot arm were properly lubed so I'm sure that helps... So far I've thrown about 500 targets and I've broken less than 10...Especially considering both doubles and stacked doubles have been thrown.. I could see this thrower lasting a lifetime with the possible replacement of a bearing clutch and pivot arm bushing on occasion...Bottom line there isn't a better thrower out there for under [...]...So if you plan on shooting a few hundred targets a month or even a year this is the one to get...Spend the little extra and you won't be sorry... kd

Solid Build But Crude
By Rafterman8 on Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2009
Pros: It's a heavy, solid piece of equipment, that's a definite plus. Cons: I had a burr or a stripped thread on the receiver of the front tube, one of the bolt holes that holds the leg on, it would strip the bolt everytime I would try to secure one of the front legs. China or wherever it is made should do a better job of Quality Assurance checks. When it was delivered, bolts were flung all over the inside of the box, not even in packets, hardware could have easily been lost on shipment. There is too much reliance on tools, you need a wrench all of the time for adjusting the throw. The company should make more of a quick disconnect and tooless design, always having to move, tighten, move. Inconvenient and just a matter of time before you start rounding bolt heads and stripping threads. There is no place to put the wrench/tools? First time I went to use it, I forgot the wrench in my car, so the throwing head fell all over the whole day while we used it, company needs to go tooless, or at least include a tie down baggie or something to transport the wrench. When I threw double clays, most of the time one of them would break.
