Do-All Outdoors Raven Automatic Clay Pigeon Skeet Thrower with Wheels, 50 Clay Capacity

I bought this product in conjunction with the wobbler. The wiring on the wobbler looked like it was sheared right off at the point where they go through the frame . As a result of this when turned on the gear went all the way around twisting the limit switch arms the wrong way. My buddy used to repair electronics and was able to not only fix the wiring but recognize that it was inferior and needed to be replaced. We upgraded that and then used plastic wire harnessing to protect them. The thrower itself needed so many fine tune adjustments that we wasted close to 100 birds before getting them out without breaking. Had I not watched so many videos when trying to choose a thrower, I would not have seen all the adjustment videos and would have had to send this entire purchase back. Its a shame that after spending $900 + we had to fix and re engineer the thing in order for it to work like it is supposed to. It seems that customer support here is at a minimum. There is very little instruction that comes with this purchase.

This thrower works flawlessly. I set up at the range waiting for my guests, so I let others at the range use it. It made a hit. Everyone loved it. When my guests finally arrived I knew that everything was going to be good, being that it was already tested by the other shooters. So far I've been to the range twice and each time I let others use it too, so we've shot at least 600 or more clays with only a few glitches mostly do to defective clays.The only problem I had was when I assembled it. I notices the plastic part at the front of the thrower had a couple of broken pop rivets in it, so I just replaced them with new ones. That was really the only problem I had.I improved on the design by replacing one of the bolts in the handle base with a lynch pin, which makes it real easy to fold handle down, so it fits very nicely into my Camry trunk. The clay holder just pulls off easily as well. Most throwers have to be transported in a van or truck bed, not this one.

Just what I wanted for sporting clays. Easy to assemble. Throws a great bird. Simple to use and safe. Make sure to have a good battery to operate this thrower, it will drain it down after an afternoon of use. I have a deep cycle marine battery that I use.

Cons:Poor design, poor quality, no quality control, poor assembly instructions, no user guide/manual.I read all of the mixed reviews on Do-All but decided to take the risk since it was less expensive than Champion, the closest competitor. It also has an integrated wobbler/oscillator option which is two separate components for Champion. I figured that fewer separate components equates to less weight, less bulk, and fewer points of failure.After spending 2 hours assembling everything with very poor instructions, I took it out for a test. Immediately, I discovered the plunger was crushing the clays. Since, it doesn't come with any kind of manual or troubleshooting guide, I spent a couple of more hours attempting to resolve the issue. Finally, I went online and found a troubleshooting guide that said to cut the plunger spring down to reduce the pressure. It seems ridiculous that this is their method of adjustment instead of simply designing some sort of simple slide adjustment for the plunger block. Anyway, I followed the instructions and cut the spring down. This seemed to resolve the crushing issue.I went to run another test and found that now, it was firing continuously. Again, I went online and found instructions to adjust the limit switch. I attempted to do so and found that the adjustments didn't make a difference. I tested the limit switch with my Ohm meter and found that it was defective after less than 20 cycles. This doesn't make me feel very confident that a Chinese replacement switch will last any longer.I also noticed that the stacker rods slide up on the base pins due to vibrations while operating. It seems like it would've been very easy for Do-All to design a better way to attach them so that they stay in place.I called Do-All customer service and received a call back about an hour later. They seemed rather clueless and could only offer trial and error troubleshooting. After already wasting a day and a half, I was not too inclined to continue performing their testing, troubleshooting, and quality control.Do-All has been in business for 10 years and they still have the same issues that customers have been complaining about for years on the online forums. I guess the old saying is true - you get what you pay for.Update: I called Do-All back to order a replacement limit switch. They were not willing to expedite the shipment and their standard shipping is 5-7 days. So, although Amazon delivered for free in 2 days per my prime membership, Do-All was unwilling to expedite a replacement part after I put forth all the time and effort to troubleshoot and identify the problem for them.Furthermore, I mentioned the issue with the stacker rods sliding up and their solution was to wrap the base pins with electrical tape. I couldn't help but laugh.

Great Christmas gift. They loved it. Didn't buy the wobbler with it. May have to purchase it also. Lots of fun for the person that loves to practice shooting clay disks.
