is the angle of throw adjustable? How easy is it to remove the clay stack? i would need to remove it for transport to the range and then put back on.

Yes about 30degrees and the stack arm lifts off we have run 700 targets in one day

Angle does adjust maybe 25 degrees or so, the rack for the clays slides off for transport.

You would move the whole unit to the desired angle, the elevation can be adjusted with a wrench. The stack just sits on four poles, just lift-off.I took the stand off my unit and put it on a wire mesh wagon. Makes moving much easier and fits in car better, bought a hinge pin for wagon handle, even easier to transport. unit work well on wagon.

Yes it is adjustable. And super easy to put the clay targets. i made a cart for it for easy transfer and to move around . It's a super awesome machine. Love it. I do recommend it. It comes with a DVD and shows you what to do.have fun

The angle is not adjustable, I just put one or two 2x6 blocks under leg to adjust angle. The clay stack is easy to unload and slips off in a couple of seconds.

yes.....do NOT use the recyclable clays in this machine...it WILL break almost everyone as it drops dow. I called the rep, I was told to cut and adjust springs, etc. For what I paid for it.....forget that...I sent it back..........Ended up with a Champion thrower... NOT a single broken clay!

You can turn the hopper 180 and it will clear the sight, but I'm using a offset sight now. That works better for both clearing the hopper, but more importantly I can actually use the sight w/ my mask on.

You can tilt the back to any angle. There's a lever that releases the back and then it can tilt the full range. You then re-engage the lever at any point to lock the back tilt wherever you want it.

Clays are flung with some serious speed. it is better suited for a shotgun than an air soft rifle. Also, target clays can sometimes take multiple beads to break.

Actually shortening the handle would probably be a good idea, mine came fairly long and would throw better if it was shortened, not to mention be more manageable with shorter length. And using a different wood shouldn't cause a problem either; with heavy use you'll eventually have to get a new handle anyways and its a 'primitive' tool/weapon, so whatever you do it'll likely work out.

Nope! Have found no issues at all,.... at the range or in the field. I set mine up to the best of my ability,then took to the local pro shop I use and they did the final needed adjustments for me. I really enjoy this drop away.

At my range there is a little mound the I use. Makes it higher. But on flat ground it is small. But works very well. From a 9 o'clock hold to a 8 o'clock hold.

I've used standards (work best) thru a range of sporting clay sizes down to mini's. You have to set the small ones more carefully. Couldn't get it to toss rabbits however.

This snow thrower certainly is light enough to tilt back slightly, but honestly, you would have to be pretty diligent to make that work and not throw a bunch of rocks. I have several places in the front sidewalk where the thrower needs to be tipped a bit to ride up over concrete edges. There is no setting to raise it up but you could replace the back wheels with slightly bigger wheels. If your driveway is very big, I would suggest you keep looking for a unit that would more closely meet your needs. Even with this nice light unit, it does take quite a bit of work to clear snow without having to pay attention to the pitch! Good luck!

I've been throwing 'AA White Flyers'. The 108mm (4.25") variety. This target is used at the NSSA World Skeet Championships and the ATA Grand American Trapshoot. I'm sure the 110mm (4.33") would work well also. The launcher works well on unbroken, previously thrown but missed clays (so long as there are no micro fractures in the clay).

Not sure how slight the slope is, but if the slope is not more than a degree or two, you should be able to use the adjustments on the machine to get the ball in the strike zone. The various speeds and distances are controlled by moving the pin from one slot to another. There is also a micro-adjustment that uses a screw to make minor adjustments. I use the micro-adjustment very frequently if you want to move the ball around the strike zone.

I do not believe there are any built in controls for adjusting the angle. I have used tape to block out detection areas on similar sensors. I would recommend getting some white duct tape to place over the parts of the sensor dome where you don't want it to detect movement.

Yes the handle can be adjusted to different angles. There is not a particular amount of positions it can be adjusted to because the angle of the push handle will move until the handle is tightened to the position you want.

I'm not sure how much it weighs (to heavy for me to pick up comfortably) but its been enough that it can shoot and be moved around. I did have the thrower put on a concrete slab for more stability as I have it out at a farm. Its great, and its always a hit with the Texas hunters that I have over visiting.

Yes it can be adjusted to throw any way you need it to but with a high arc you need to add more speed.

it is self leveling so it can't be set on an angle as it will compensate for level. you can set it for different degrees of rise and fall to work with the receiver
