I am voting Lazy Redneck! :lol:

I must be getting old or just lazy. I got tired of taking down the throwers and putting them in the back of my mid-size SUV each time I went to the farm(about 3-4 days a week), so I improvised. I bought the trailer for my Marsh Rat and since it won't be used until September, I made me a removable deck. The throwers are mounted on 2' square sheets of 3/4" plywood mounted with carriage bolts and wing nuts. The small sheets are mounted on the larger deck with bolts and wood certs. The larger deck is mounted the same way, except I used stainless wood certs in the bunks. The rear thrower will remain on the trailer at all times and both can be rotated any direction and be locked back down, although I plan to remove the front one every time out. I also added a plug to each one so I can use the remote or foot pedal(for when I am by myself, which seems to be more and more). I still have to mount the tool box, battery boxes and wire the trailer plug, but that will take maybe another 1/2hr.

I have a work bench that the 2 throwers, batteries, and tool box normally sit on in the garage, although I did add a bracket on the back for the large deck. I paid $100 for the trailer on Craigslist. It got rewired as well as new lights.

Ace Hardware had 100' extension cords for $16 + tax. They are light duty but perfect these throwers. I ended up with 6 of them just for giggles.







I also have the wobbler unit mounted to my old Yamaha 4 wheeler for an additional degree of fun, but it stays at the farm all the time.

My friend, the only thing that seperates genius and insanity is success.
From where I stand you look successful to me.

I have one that has been going strong 3 yrs now, with 10's of thousands of clays thrown. Keep them clean and lubricated, make sure and check the bolts often and use a good charged battery and issues will be little if any.

Looks cool, how long can you run those on a single battery charge?

Say you had friends over and wanted to throw 400-500 clays...

I have thrown as many as 2500 clays on those small batteries.

We routinely throw between 1000-1500 clays each time out. I usually shoot 250-500 by myself.
