The Caldwell Claymore Clay Target Thrower is a mechanical, foot-pedal-operated clay target launcher that lets you practice shooting at moving aerial targets without a battery or an assistant.
Design/Operating principle
The unit is cocked and released by stepping on a foot pedal that tensions the throwing-arm spring and launches the target. It offers two modes: standard, for single launches, and Flurry, for a continuous step-and-throw sequence at a pace set by the shooter. The launch angle is adjustable, allowing the target's trajectory to be varied. The 50-target magazine reduces the need for frequent reloading. The frame is collapsible, making the unit easier to transport and store.
