Shot at my aerial target tonight for a while but my wife got tired of throwing it for me. Wondered if anyone had ever built a thrower that you could operate yourself?
I was wondering if the was a way to modify a clay pigeon thrower?
check out true flight feathers website, there was some stuff on there.
there was plans in a old traditional bow hunter mag had to make a pop bottle thrower.
Go to Pete Ward's website and look under Bow Birds on the left side of the screen-under Projects. He's got plans for a disc thrower.

I have dabbled in making a launcher for soda bottles, my next idea was a 2x10 3 feet long with a 2x4 2 1/2 feet long and a door hinge on the bottom connected to the 2x10 / < like that / and a compression spring under the 2x4 mounted to the 2x10. make a small carriage for the disc to sit in on the upper end of the 2x4.use three I bolts two/1/2 inch apart/ on the 2x10 and one upside down on the 2x4/so it fits between the other two hole to hole/ so when you push the 2x4 down /compressing the spring/ you can stick a nail through the I bolt to hold it down.tie a string to the nail long enough to be at a shooting position and pull the nail and it should come out releasing the tension and the disc should fly.I few holes in the corners of the 2x10 ans tent spikes in them will hold it to the ground.
I havnt tried it yet, but the thought process seams to make me think it should work.
I have plans for one i made, i dont remember where i got them, it was on the web, it works well, i just never use it. If you want i will look in my man cave i should have the plans somewhere,
Easiest method is an 8 year old kid that wants to shoot a bow!
You could tell the wife while she's washing the dinner plates you just bought a new custom bow and it cost you $1500.00 then run and grab your bow and start shooting the dinner plates she may toss at you! :biglaugh: No just L.O.L. but have you checked the How to section here on Tradgang? There just may be a how to make one in there...
