For all you guys that have inquired I have the plans finnished for the Wingshooter Target Thrower. I redesigned it to fold up so it is easy to setup and take down. I am no longer building them just the plans. This way I can spend more time shooting and less time in the shop. :)

Sweet,I don't know if that one hit or not. :saywhat:

I've just got to get one of these this year....My girls would love it as well!!!!!
Wingshooter,
Curiousity question, once you have the plans what is the approximate cost of putting one together? Just ball park, I understand you can't be exact. dino
You beat me to it dino? Good question
If you buy all the parts I have on the plans somewhere around $80 That said you can cut a lot of corners by using stuff on hand and using less expensive parts like fir instead of oak, plexaglass instead of lexan, nails for pins etc. The spring is a must I have tried a lot of different springs but you need this one. I used grommets on the side straps where all you have to do is cut a whole and burn the edges. My suggestion would be to get the right spring and use lexan for the head because it is flexable and tough it has worked out he best for me. You can also use a bungie like pete ward does instead of the cargo strap. I'll bet you can get it done for under $40
I'll be ordering a set ... I have teach 4h archery and wanted to do something like this.
Gene That one was a hit it is amazing seeing how far you have to lead a horizontal flying taarget.
It took me a while to get out in front.
Jason, This thing throws vetical, horizontal, and downrange it throws two targets at once so you have to pick your shot. With the foot trip you can practice by yourself if there is no one around to shoot with.
