Anyone have any experience with a Do all aerial assault AA7777 clay thrower?. Pro's, cons. Any other suggestions for an economical auto thrower?.

Thanks

No, but there is nothing better IMO than the cheap red plastic ones you can buy for $5. You just need someone who has an arm and knows how to use it.

You would have far more enjoyment out of taking a Habenero pepper, scoring it, lubricating it with olive oil, inserting it into your anal orifice, than you would have with one of these...I went through at LEAST 6 six SIX, of these things before I quit for good. I bought a Champion and it aint never failed. The doall (nothing) was lucky to throw 10 rocks without breaking....

and here I thought I was the only one who enjoyed that!

I had one of the first aerial assault and it seemed ok.It would actually fling out a target and it would be nice if you do not have a club around.I have a Pat trap with a wobble and thought it would be a neat addition and it was , we are just lazy the Pat takes about three minutes to set up and holds 535 targets. I think athe aerial assault holds about 50. Cheap fun!

Cody,

Dollar for dollar nothing beats a Promatic. They have several consumer units, great service and excellent service life.

You will buy a Promatice once and it will last.

I have one and an early one at that. I like it NOW. It took a bit of tweaking and grinding to get it to reliably singulate targets. It could uses some more improvements:
Easier loading the first clay.
Better de-cocking method
Off-centered magazine rod holes to adjust for target
diameters
but at this point it reliably throws good targets.

Don't know anything about the wobbler kit or remote switch

My Aerial Assault, as I said, was an insult. Burned out switches, motors, replacement kits, phone calls, adjustments, replacement traps, a horror story. Last time I checked Ebay, there were a lot of them on there at give away prices. I bought a Champion EZ bird Autofeed, from Howells Shooting Supply (334) 393 2843. Great people, Ez Bird was less money than the Insult. A tree fell on my Trap and Howells had replacment parts out in 3 days. I use mine EVERY day. Not a problem except there is one brand of Rock it doesnt like....

Thanks guys. I found a few other reviews on the net and most are not favourable. LD, what kind of bird does your thrower dislike?

When I first saw the price on the Do-All I figured something was amiss. Did my homework and found a long thread on Shotgun World. First half of the thread was full of complaints about the product and being ignored about service. At that point the Pres. posted acknowledging the problems with the product and service. He said call and we'll fix it. Most of the balance of the thread indicated a different experience for buyers so I took the plunge. First trap (I now have two) required three shipments of parts that arrived with great speed and no charge. I agree with anyone who observes you should not have to go through this on a new product. When I bought my second one the seller could not tell me if the trap had the updates that I had installed on the first. Called Do-All and the VP said he was sure it would but if it didn't they would replace it. The people I talked to were beyond gracious.

Threw a 135 clay case a few days ago with one broken bird and this is typical for both traps. Way to much fun for the money.
