Clay bird launcher mounting?

[MarlinMark]

I have the standard Outers clay bird thrower that can be mounted on a spare tire's rim. The problem with this way of mounting is that the bolt rubs against the rim and ruins the threads. Does anyone have a trick or way that they mount theirs that is cool? I know somebody out there has a slick method that works great.....

You must take it apart a lot for transporting or is it set-up solid all the time? I drilled my bolt and put pins in it so I could break it down faster. :smile: Works good, but may not work for your application. :smile: Happy Hunting

Attach the thrower to a 4' 2x6 and back your truck over the end of the board to hold it down.

Thanks for the tips guys. Nobody else has a new fangled, trick and fancy, super cool trick????

I needed something heavy to hold mine down, so I welded some 1/8" plate to an old 10x20 steel truck wheel and bolted the thrower to the plate.
Not exactly hi-tech, but it works.

Thanks again fellas.

bolt it to some square hollow steel and slide it in the back of your reciever hitch on your pickup.

Sleeve the bolts...I took some alum. round stock drilled a hole through it and slip it over the bolt.

SEAN D has the best idea. My father inlaw has it mounted that way and it is real slick

skeet,
You are right. We have one in progress. Thanks Sean

I too mounted mine to 2" sq. tubing and slipped it into my reciever hitch.
I made a few alterations to mine. I removed the thin sheetmetal wings from my thrower. They started bending and twisting after repeated use.
In order to bolt the mainframe of the thrower to the tubing, I welded on a scrap piece of 4" wide tubing to allow the bolt pattern. It is now indestructable.

My friend bolted his to a seat swivel with multiple holes and pins to allow adjustments, but it made it a little rickety (sp?)
I think it is just as easy to move yourself or your truck.
