My cousin trains Labs.  He built a big stationary sling shot that flings live ducks across his pond in the back yard.  Said he got the idea from commercially built ones.  I reckon those would work....Van

There was a thread on the *********** titled 'How I made My Aerial target Thrower' he made it using a clay pigeon thrower. Maybe go there and try doing a search, seems to be a great idea.

Do a search on this site theres a couple made out of wood. I made one like Tim Floods design ,works great. I also made one several years ago with some scrap metal that didnt work to bad.
