long bolt down thru center hole in rear leg and thru lug
hole in wheel. Apply 5/16 flat washer and 5/16-18 hex
nut and tighten. If the rear leg section does not clear the
tire, proceed as follows: Remove 3/4” bolt from rear end
of support leg and rear leg assembly. Replace with 6” long
bolt, apply lock washer and nut and retighten. Put 6” long
bolt down thru lug hole in wheel, apply flat washer and

5. If the target thrower is to be mounted on a solid
foundation such as a shooting bench, it is advisable to
put rubber or other suitable material between the target
thrower and the foundation in order to give a cushioning
effect.
TRIGGER STOP ASSEMBLY
1. Place the stop on the throwing arm so holes are aligned
and the notch faces the near end of the throwing arm.

thru the holes, then screw the 6-32 machine screws into
the post and tighten securely with a screwdriver.
NEOPRENE STRIP ASSEMBLY
1. The bottom inside surface of the throwing arm must
be free of dirt and oil residue as it may prevent proper
adhesion. Prepare surface with a glass cleaner and dry
completely before applying the neoprene strip.

3. Lay the throwing arm on a flat surface with the stop
hanging down and to the left. Remove the paper backing
from the neoprene strip and avoid touching the adhesive.

throwing arm. End of strip MUST be even with the stop
end of the throwing arm. The side of the strip should abut
surface of throwing arm with dimples.
