Yeah..... but I'm the one who always throws the clays. I'm looking for something that's a bit more consistent than our hand thrower.
Cant help you but I'm impressed that you can use one of those hand throwers. They are an instrument of death in my hands!
They aren't too bad..... but we usually only do 10-12 at a time, and usually one every few throws ends up in the trees. I probably just need more practice with it.
My attempts at using a hand thrower is worthy of a scene from Napoleon Dynamite.
The ones that attache to the hitch are a good bet, A lot of the issue you have with the lower cost throwers is that they hop around, it's not the thrower itself that fails its the hopping around. I have a cheap three footed job I got for a steal at the flea market that is supposed to push into the ground (like stakes into the ground) but that doesn't work well when the ground is rock hard. I usually end up getting slapped in the leg by the arm and the clay ends up going anywhere BUT down range. I have to make VERY clear to my boys NOT to shoot the clay unless its down range...I'm not doing trick shots. The fix is to seat the three legs into a heavy base, a wheel or rim might do the job. I'm holding out on a rack that will slip into the hitch that the thrower legs can drop into.
