Again? Really? LOL One of my colourful members like to refer to trap as the geriatric game. He still kicks my ass in Doubles everytime though.

Some great old ads and photos! I can actually remember a club I belonged to years ago that had one of the manual pull set ups shown in the picture. If memory served you would pull the arm back to release the target then push it all the way forward to reset the throwing arm on the machine. Once reset the "trapper" or trap person in the house would set a target on the throwing arm. It was kind of neat for it's day.

That's awesome! Does it have a chain pulley/gear of some kind of nature that cocks the throwing arm? My memory tells me the units(2) which I have seen were a cast iron thrower painted green with the cocking rod attached to some kind of a bicycle style chain cocking device?
Again if memory serves one was at the Timmins Ontario club and was operational as a backup machine/field. The other was at the Timiskaming Bullseye club in New Liskeard Ont. But I am going back in my memory bank over 30 years to the mid 80's?

It does. There's two parts, the thrower and the pivot for the cocking arm. I'll take some pictures tonight when I get home. I want to build a little cart to put the thing on to take out to our club to show folks how it used to be done.
