Kyle O Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Also known as pigeon flippers. KurtM said he had seen some in the past, and it got me thinking of putting together some for myself. I know I can buy some, but I'm a tinkerer, and I have a lot of wood. I've sort of got something "designed" in my minds eye, but wondered if someone here had a proven design they could post a photo of. Or, your own thoughts, advice, criticism, or search results...

AlamoShooter Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I tryed it with some scrap , it worked ok , but inconsisten . the hing point gets pushed around with every fall = the stand needs a place to attach to the popper stand. the catapult part realy needs some flex to it too but plain old 2x4 did work with a rubber pad on it.

jmorris Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) I don't know if you made it to the stage or not (sorry about the DQ BTW) but at the TX state multi gun they had two that were made from steel and fiberglass for the arms, that worked pretty good. Ken Reed has well documented projects here http://www.parmarng.org/freeidaho/AlSkDjFhG/ That include a clay flipper.
