Best Skeet Throwers

The WheelyBird from Champion Range and Target is, perhaps, one of the best electronic trap throwers that is both affordable and easy to use, but let’s figure out what makes it special first.

To start off, the appliance can fit up to 50 clay targets in a clip above the feeder. This includes both standard 4.25- and international 4.33-inch trays. What makes this particular assembly great, though, is the recycle time that takes only 2 seconds to reload the clay target and it will be ready for launch. Compared to other similar models, even the 0.5-second decrease in reload time is quite noticeable.

The only real drawback of the kit is its weight. With a total weight of 48 lbs, it cannot be called a portable model, however, when disassembled the thrower can be transported and put together in a matter of minutes, given that you are familiar with the assembly process. Luckily, the appliance features two transport wheels so you won't have to carry it around too much.

As for the versatility of this skeet thrower, owing to the 25-foot cord that connects the foot pedal with the main unit, it accommodates various shooting techniques and enables aiming for targets from multiple positions without the need to adjust the thrower itself. Conversely, you can always adjust the angle of the launcher from 0 to 30 degrees, which will come in handy for competitive shooting.

Finally, this trap thrower device will be an excellent option for all users who are looking for a reliable target launcher for training accuracy and reaction speed for both skeet and trap shooting.

The Blue Chuckar from Gunpowder Gear is an automatic skeet launcher that will make every practice session joyful without too much of a hassle.

What really makes this model stand out, though, is its ability to throw and store biodegradable (non-toxic) clay targets. Thanks to the reinforced tray magazine, the fragile trap targets won’t get damaged while the machine is operating. Speaking of magazine sizes, the magazine capacity of the Blue Chuckar is 25 clays (26 when loaded), which will be more than enough for long trap shooting practice.

The skeet thrower is capable of launching 1 clay target every 25 seconds, which is remarkably fast compared to other models available at a similar price. In addition to the regular automatic launcher, you can use a special foot pedal in order to launch the clay traps when you want. The cycle of reloading takes around 2.5 seconds (depending on weather conditions) so you can use one launcher for multiple shooters to practice at the same time. Furthermore, the strong throwing mechanism is capable of launching the targets up to 50 yards away, while the spring below the action can be adjusted to change the launching angle. Despite some stability issues that you may encounter when placing the thrower on uneven surfaces, this model is exceptionally reliable when it comes down to switching from one clay to another.

In the end, this electric clay launcher from Gunpowder Gear is well worth its price and is definitely the best skeet thrower for hardcore trap shooters.

This automatic target thrower is, perhaps, the best skeet thrower for both standard and international trap shooting thanks to its versatility and big clay capacity. But what exactly makes it so good and versatile?

First things first, this unit doesn’t need calibration even after several thousand clays are thrown, which increases the time you can use for target practice. The only thing you should do though is keep the chain that makes the pulling mechanism move lubricated and clean from possible debris. The latter might become a challenge if you intend on using the thrower in the wilderness instead of conventional outdoor trap shooting ranges.

With an overall weight of just 32 lbs, this skeet launcher can be transported in the trunk of virtually any car and carried by hand when needed. What is more, the assembly of the device is quite simple and includes the unfolding of a rear leg and attaching of the tray magazine. Moving on, this skeet thrower has a capacity of 50 clays of both standard and international sizes. The only real issue is that you have to reload the device manually every time the magazine is empty.

To wrap things up, this battery-operated clay thrower from Champion T&T is a top-of-the-line device for fulfilling your sporting and professional shooting needs.

This auto-feed, semi-automatic skeet launcher from Champion T&T embodies simplicity and reliability and is definitely an essential model for trap shooting.

Champion T&T has made this model affordable by removing all the extraneous things and has left only the most necessary parts intact. The action of the thrower resembles any other skeet throwing product; however, it is triggered by a 6 feet long pulling cord. Unlike automatic models, this clay launcher has space for only 2 clays. Nevertheless, considering the modest price tag of the device, it is merely an inconvenience rather than a significant flaw. That being said, the lack of the magazine doesn’t mean that you cannot launch the clays quickly. An open launching mechanism allows for quick changing of the clays, which basically suggests that you can throw as many as 15-20 traps per minute given that you have a team of two dedicated loaders.

The simplicity of its build makes this model extremely lightweight - only 10.1 lbs. Moreover, the thrower can be assembled and disassembled in a matter of minutes, which makes it easy to transport.

All things considered, this clay pigeon thrower is a must have if you are looking for a starter model but don’t want to break the bank.

The Fowl Play from Do-All Outdoors is, perhaps, one of the most powerful models available on the market today. Built to last, this little orange beauty of a thrower can hold up to 25 clay targets at once, thanks to its big tray magazine. In addition to that, the advanced target feeder allows for quickly launching the traps with a speed of up to 24 clays per minute.

As for the specifications of the launcher itself, the throwing angle can be adjusted from 5 to 35 degrees, while the maximum throwing distance can reach 55 yards. The smooth feeder of the thrower excludes the risk of a potential misfire, while the throwing arm transfers the clay carefully enough to prevent damage to the trap itself.

Further down the list, this model features an adjustable cord that can be used for setting up the timing of the launcher. Moreover, a safety pin near the action of the throwing arm prevents accidental release of the trap.

The quadpod of the device makes it exceptionally stable, especially when compared to tripod and bipod models, which is a crucial factor for competitive trap shooting. What is more, this base is compatible with the wobbler from Do-All Outdoors (can be purchased separately), which will make the trap shooting even more exciting.

Suitable for both professional and amateur trap shooting, the Fowl Play is a must-buy device in case you are eager to improve your shooting skills.
