The Caldwell Claymore is a foot-operated clay target thrower designed for shooters who want a portable, battery-free alternative to electric machines. Whether you're setting up a backyard shooting session solo or running targets for a group at the range, this manual thrower gives you full control over launch timing and pace without worrying about power or hauling heavy batteries. It's built for clay shooters of all skill levels—from beginners learning gun mount fundamentals to experienced competitors looking for a reliable, simple machine.
Operation is straightforward: step on the foot pedal to cock the arm, then press again to release and launch. The Claymore can throw clays 55–70 yards downrange, making it effective for most clay shooting scenarios. You get two throwing modes—standard single-shot and flurry mode, which lets you launch clays continuously as fast as you can work the pedal. This rapid-fire capability is valuable for practicing sustained target engagement and sharpening your reaction time. The adjustable launch angles let you dial in different trajectories, so you can practice rising shots, crossing presentations, and other angles without resetting the entire machine.
Portability is a major strength. At 35 pounds, the Claymore is light enough to carry to your shooting spot, and it folds down for compact storage in a vehicle or garage. No chargers, no batteries, no dead power banks at the worst moment—just a manual, mechanical system that works every time you step on it. If you shoot clay regularly and value simplicity, low maintenance, and the freedom to throw targets on your own schedule, the Caldwell Claymore delivers all that without the complexity of an electric thrower.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the Caldwell Claymore for solo practice, or do I need a partner?
The Claymore is designed for solo or group use. You operate the foot pedal yourself, so you can throw targets at your own pace during solo practice sessions or take turns with friends at the range.
What's the difference between standard mode and flurry mode?
Standard mode launches a single clay with each pedal press, giving you time to mount and prepare between shots. Flurry mode allows continuous throws as fast as you can step on the pedal, simulating rapid-fire scenarios and building your speed and reflexes.
Do I need a battery or electrical outlet to use this thrower?
No. The Caldwell Claymore is entirely foot-operated and mechanical. There are no batteries, chargers, or power requirements—just you and the pedal.
How much space do I need to use it, and can I fold it up to take with me?
The machine throws clays 55–70 yards downrange, so you'll need a safe backstop and open range area. Yes, it folds for easy transport and storage, and at 35 pounds, it's light enough to move between locations.
