Presentation Title

Composite Clay Pigeon Thrower

Abstract

The clay pigeon trap throwing market has grown tremendously in recent years all around the globe. The current market of both electrical and mechanical trap throwers available today are made of some combination of aluminum and steel. No evidence has been found of a composite trap thrower on the market today. The Clay Pigeon Pitcher is a complete redesign of your traditional swing-arm mechanical clay pigeon throwing motion. Instead, the Clay Pigeon Pitcher uses a crossbow mechanism. It also consists of detachable and foldable components for ease of storage. The product is made of solid carbon fiber/epoxy construction, with the exception of the arms of the crossbow mechanism. They are made 25 from fiberglass/epoxy. Given its portability and ease of storage, the Clay Pigeon Pitcher will revolutionize the clay pigeon trap throwing industry.
