since you have the handle i was wondering if you could recommend a good portable clay slinger, my wife and son have been after me to get one for some time now and i have finally broken down.

There are any number of machines that work just fine. Check out the Cabela's catalog. If you were in my area I'd give ya one. Outers makes a decent and cheap one. There are others you can sit on and throw targets and there is one that attaches to the hitch on your truck(if ya have one)...but the Outers trap is ok and fairly cheap. I sold 'em new for 20-25 dollars when I was running the business back east. I'll check and see if my partner has any. If he does I'll get your address. I have one here on a tire rim that I bought at a yard sale for 10 bucks and I got 2 cases of targets with it. Taught momma to shoot the 20 ga with it.

I'm just wondering how many trucks you had to hire to move all that stuff from Maryland to Wyoming. It must have been a lot of em and it couldn't have been cheap.

I got the largest truck that U-Haul had. Moved most of the furniture etc in it. along with all the 22 rifles I had at the time(116) and a few of the shotguns. Also brought a 7x14 trailer loaded 5 times and also an open 12 ft trailer ..plus what could be carried in the back of the pickup at the same time. Just got my torch etc out here when I was back in Sept for my medical visit. Sold my lathe for gun work as well as my forge and blower. And I got rid of one of my Dillon 650's and the 1050 loader(stupid). I gave over 15 reloaders away. A friend is driving out with quite a bit of my reloading stuff in late November. Wads and the last of my shot and some other things. Bringing my last trailer with him. I also gave him my little s-10 pickup that we used on the farm Will be going back in April or so to get my boat etc. as well as the rest of my decoys. Now that I know I need them. Now I am finally down to digging out the guns that I have absolutely no use for. Should have sold many of them back east as it was a pain to move them. My partner is getting his FFL back east so we can ship a few guns from there to here. Know anybody needs a Benelli Sport? Pretty gun but have no use for it myself

I like those hand throwing thingies as they last forever and take-up no room at all. Trouble is, most people don't know how to use them and I end-up throwing and not shooting! There are some reasonably priced units that can be driven into the ground (as Skeet said, check Cabelas) and I have found them to work OK when shooting alone (pull the sting with your foot). They work much better, however, when attached to an old tire rather than driven into the ground.
Skeet - If you need a place to keep your guns, I'll make room in my safe. My address, however, is classified.
