Since my old Champion Wheelybird update/upgrades turned out so well, I've been looking into adding another thrower to raise the 'game' in the back 40 even higher so to speak.
With the recent Black Friday sales of a buck twenty off I couldnt help but order up Champion's Workhorse model.
However, I have no intention of using the stand that comes with it (as pictured)...

Instead I'll be using the original mounting bracket from my old Wheelybird and building an entirely new frame.

I removed the oscillator setup from my old frame and cut it up but kept the axle assembly as it is. I'm in the process of looking into making this frame incorporate an angle tilt so as to throw a curling target similair to what I've seen from a couple of members here on the site do with their Wheelybirds.
Problem right now is I'm lacking the 3/16" steel plating in my scrap pile so I'm going to have to get it from the city next time I'm down that way in a few months time.
'Unless' I can find what I need from the steel pile of one of my buddies.
This is basically where I'm at at the moment. I have in my mind two possible ways to go with the angle function, I'm only going to have it angle in the one direction.
I may do something temporary using angle iron and some odds and ends until I get the steel plate(s) I want.

I have a Workhorse as a secondary trap but don't use it much because I'm so used to the immediate release from my Atlas trap the workhorse throws my timing off taking so long after call pull before it throws.
