Clay pigeon thrower
This is the correct answer. It’s a hand helt clay pigeon thrower for skeet shooting.
The black metal part reminds me of my futon couch, has a similar mechanism for when you fold/unfold it. Could this be an arm for some kind of recliner chair?
That seems like an unlikely thing to have a thong on it, though…
Just curious is the thing you call a thong what I call a spring?
No, the thong is the leather loop on the handle
That makes sense. Thanks!
