There is no trap range up here in the sticks. So I fastened a piece of pipe on to the end of a length of 2" tubing.

This slides into the trailer hitch receiver on my pickup. (The piece of plywood is a seat in case I ever find anyone else who wants to operate the thrower.)

My old clay pigeon thrower sits in the pipe and can swivel around.

Then I attach a thin rope to the thrower's trigger as in the picture below. The other end of the rope clips onto my belt.

A little wiggle from the hip and the pigeons are launched.

Now, any place I stop my pickup becomes a trap range just for me.
