The Backyard Clayhawk -Cock Thrower is an affordable manual trap that incorporates a sprocket mechanism that uses a set of gears to cycle the arm of the way through the cycle, only requiring you to push the arm the last of the way. Designed with an adjustable 3-pivot mount it allows you to throw a single or a stacked pair of clay pigeons in any direction from a springing teal to a ground-bouncing rabbit and anything in between, as well as adjust the speed with the sliding adjustable clip. Its triangular base offers stability and sits high enough to operate the trap from a chair. Ground spikes are included for extra stability.
