I was looking for some info on clay throwers, from your experiences, which would be the best for solo shooting? I would prefer if it threw doubles and have about a 300 dollar budget. Thanks.
 
The champion skybird from crappy tire is built solid and has a foot pedal for solo shooting, $150 but sometimes go on sale for $99. If you could increase your budget you could get a "white wing" for around $350, but then you will also need a deep cycle battery which increases costs as well. I went with the champion last year but I use it less than 10 times a year and didn't warrant spending more even tho I really liked the white wing.
 
The only problem with manual throwers is the limitation on where you are in reference to the bird, usually behind, I had a manual for a year or so it was fairly slow and I had a long line on it so I could move around and get some angle shots going. If you can buy a auto trap more money but you'll only cry once.

Give the trius one step a look . not overly expensive and seems to have good reviews .

I have two of them - they are awesome ... no broken birds, no putting your gun down to reload the thrower... easy to reload (one finger... no spring tension until you step on it), and throws doubles easily!

The only downside... shooting solo means they are always heading directly away from you. Gets boring pretty quick when you're an awesome shot like me. ;)

+1 for the Trius one-step!

I love mine.
 
Thanks guys, looks like the trius is winning so far. Does anyone know where I could pick one up? Didn't see any online at wholesale or cabelas. What is a ball park price on them?
