Clay Target Throwers, which one?

Looking at spending about $100 to $150 for a thrower. Any recomendations?And are there any targets that are more bio-degradable than the others? I don't like the idea of leaving thousands of pieces of clay pigeon around for years to come.Thanks

Do- all traps are great. They even make 3/4 @#%$ traps that take very little effort to reset that should be about in that price range. White flyer makes biodegradle targets but I have no idea how much they cost.
Walmart sells them for $80 if you want to go check them out.
Want something that will last you a lifetime? Find a dealer who has taken some Lincoln manual @#%$ traps in on trade.They are pricy when new, last virtually forever, and are nearly maintenance free. At my home course (Lakewoods Sporting Clays-Cisne, IL) the owner recently went to all automatics and traded his Lincolns in. I believe that dealer either rents them out when big clubs hold major tournaments and need supplemental stations or sold them to a club just starting up. Point is, for around $150 you can get a 3/4 @#%$ trap that is commercially made for the same money as a lesser "homeowners" model.
Good luck finding a used Lincoln for 150.00. If you want a trap within a resonable amount of time for the price you mantion go with a post mount 3/4 Doo-all

I have a two arm do all. Spent about $310.00, worth every sent. I figure I have already paid for the trap with the savings from not having to shoot at a club all the time.
you guys with land make me jealous! i wish i could just go out back and shoot only a few targets or hundreds at a time without having to wait for anyone. only live on .4 acres (still living at home for a few years) and the neighbors wouldnt like 12Ga reports for hours at a time :evil: freakin lady down the road came down and complained about a .22 my bro was shooting...saying we were in the villiage its illegal to be firing off a firearm... funny thing is the villiage line is approx a half mile down the road and we are shooting away from houses, into a hillside (little chance of riccocet). probably just hates guns :cry:

cant wait till i can afford my own land!!! ill live in a mobile trailer on a few acres if i have to!!! :)
Hands down, no contest "Do-ALL 3/4 trap". Get the wobbler attachment for the most fun! The wobbler attachment lets the thrower "point and shoot" the bird. We play a game where the shooter is not allowed to look at the thrower and the thrower can launch at any time, any direction, or height. With the wobbler you can also do rapid fire drills since you can load it so quickly. You can do report shooting and other variations. Try outdoorsuperstore.com they are $200 there.
