Caldwell Claymore Pull-pup with Handheld Design, Dual Grip Safeties, and Adjustable Spring Tension for Clay Shooting, Shooting Sports, Hunting

I was looking for something better than the manual hand throwers and didn't want to haul a heavy battery and electronic thrower every time I wanted to shot clay targets let alone the price of those. I looked at other anchor ground throwers and saw people complaining about them pulling the stakes out and having to try and anchor them over and over, I looked the the hitch mounts but didn't want something the bulky and don't want to be limited to the back of my truck. So when I saw a YouTube video testing this I wanted to try it. I am extremely impressed. I tried it out on New Years day and after dialing in the power (I turened it up at the start thinking I needed more power for the larger clay targets, and it kept shattering them as it launched them) it did amazing at throwing the clay targets. You do have to be careful pulling it back to make sure you get it locked before you let go so you don't break your fingers. It was a little hard for my younger teenage son to pull back. However, with all that I would highly recommend to anyone wanting an affordable option that is easily stored and packed with you to go have some fun.

Could not get clay birds to launch unbroken. I prefer a launcher that throws unbroken clays, so that I can break them myself with the shotgun. Tension adjustment seems to do nothing. I had very high hopes for this item, because of its portability. Needs to go back to the drawing board.

Purchased for a friendly family shotgun shoot. The claymore pullpup threw 180 standard size clays with 3 failures. The failures were pretty typical, clays breaking apart when thrown. It’s a fun thrower and everyone really enjoyed it. Would buy again.

Used this for the first time last week and it appeared very temperamental and we spent a significant amount of time trying to get it to work. When it was working it threw the clay pigeons in a very nice pattern that was great for shooting.

This thrower is a blast—literally! It’s super fun to use and worked great for an afternoon of shooting. I was using it so my wife could get some practice in, and it definitely delivered on the fun. That said, cocking it is no joke. It takes a good amount of force, and more than once, I felt like I might lose a finger if I slipped. After a while, my arms were shot—by the time she was done, I could barely handle my shotgun! Overall, it’s a great product if you’re up for the physical effort. Just be prepared for the workout and take your time cocking it safely. I used it for quite a while, and it held up well.

Works great, awesome your shoulder from the smaller throw ones. It's also portable and not as bulky as the floor ones. Great for the price

Works but breaks some clays

I was very disappointed by this. #1 the trap arm is very annoying to pull back. One time is fine. However, 50 times or more is a whole other thing. Some people won't even able to do it or will tire of it extremely quickly. #2 On top of being difficult to pull back it can also be dangerous to your fingers as you pull back with the risk of the arm slipping and hitting you. #3 i felt the need to use gloves to protect the skin of my fingers from the abrasive no slip material on arm. #4 When the clay pigeon is placed exactly where they say to and fastened with the clip the clay bird shattered to pieces everytime regardless of tension. I had to move the clay further up the arm away from the clip to prevent breakage, but this also made it possible for the clay to fall out limiting angles and accuracy. I returned mine and don't recommend.
