I needed a new launcher for throwing ducks. The prices of launchers big enough are way to high for me, so I built my own. All I need now is the receiver I have on order. In testing, I can throw a dokken mallard dummy 30+ feet in the air. I can increase or decrease the power by changing springs. There are a few little bugs to work out, but the design works well. I'm planning on making about 5 more. It measures 10"x10"x22" and is made from some 1x1x1/8" angle I had. Only thing I had to buy is the receiver, material for the sling and the springs. Not counting the receiver, I have about $7 and 3 hours in it.

The next ones I make, I'll do a step by step with pictures. It really was pretty easy to make.
