“Pigeonator” Lets You Trap Shoot Anywhere
Robert Barnes can shoot clay pigeons anywhere with his mobile trap shoot. He can slip it in the back of a pickup or add wheels and pull it around with an ATV. The 5 ft., 9-in. by 4-ft. wide Pigeonator weighs only 120 lbs. fully assembled with seat, battery and 3 throwers.
“I’m an avid clay shooter, and I wanted a clay thrower that was lightweight and could be taken anywhere,” says Barnes. “You can take off the wheels, throwers, seat, battery and even the corner stabilizers. Disassembled, it is very light and easy to load. Even assembled, 2 people can lift it into a pickup, or one can pull it around on the ground.”
The Pigeonator has 2 leveling jacks on the back and one on the front. Each thrower can be turned left or right or quickly adjusted to one of 10 different angles and locked in place with set screws. Height for all 3 throwers can be adjusted by raising or lowering one or more of the jacks.
“The throwers are spring-loaded,” explains Barnes. “The more you tighten down on the bolt that adjusts the spring, the farther the clay pigeon will fly.”
Range varies from 50 to 75 yds. on a non-windy day. Barnes used toggle switches and electric door lock actuators for triggers.
“Turn the switches off to load and release with either the toggle switch or a foot pedal,” says Barnes.
The seat is telescoping and swiveling. One person can sit in the seat, operate the throwers and shoot, or multiple shooters can take turns operating the throwers. Extra clays can be stored in compartments to either side of the 6-volt battery case behind the seat. A gun rack for a single gun also is mounted between the seat and the tongue with its ball hitch.
Barnes has only built the one prototype, but has applied for a patent. He is looking for a company to buy the patent and build
Pigeonators.
“It’s a blast when you get a couple of shooters on either side,” says Barnes. “You can go through 3 boxes of shells so fast you’ll be sore afterwards.”
