I am in the market for a good quality clay pigeon thrower....the last one I bought several years ago was the type that has three legs that you drive in the ground or mount on a truck wheel...looking for something a little more heavy duty within reason price wise....

any advise.....

Do-All Traps makes a pretty stoudt unit.

I have the SINGLE FULL COCK Style#ST200 and it is a nice piece that you can either sit on or mount to the hitch of your auto.

They make a variety of different models and tons of places carry them.

I have to agree with SS. I've been using the single 3/4 cock version for the last several years. Never a problem and throws clays very well. I added the wobbler kit and would strongly recommend it to anyone considering these traps. I have about $225 in the whole setup.

The Trius One-Step is also an option, particularly if you ever shoot alone. Uses a foot pedal to tension and release. I like the option of throwing a few to myself. I also REALLY like the fact that the trap arm is NEVER under tension when cocking. No way for the arm to get away from you and damage some tender part of your flesh.

On the negative side, it has no sit down option, and has no wobble capability or option that I know about.

All in all, really happy with the unit I bought for my son. If I recall correctly, about $100 - $120 in Dec 05.

They aint cheap, but they are the real deal. I know a guy who has four of them, and I shoot at his place couple times a year. They are flawless. he can keep four shooters reloading as fast as they can with two traps... he does a covey presentation with six mini's off two traps for three shooters that is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen...

I use the Trius one step also and like the fact I can shoot by myself if I choose. The fact of the arm not being under tension is a plus too.

I own both the Do All and the Trius One Step. Both are good but the One Step wins. I don't always have a buddy along so slinging clays by myself is nice.
