[solved - clay pidgeon thrower] What is this tool I found at a thrift store?

The two arms are sprung so that as you push on the handle they separate, and then return to position.

Looks like a Linksys Router to me

Use the clay pigeon shooter to toss it for target practice

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?

SaintWacko@midwest.social · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

No, the thong is the leather loop on the handle

That makes sense. Thanks!

I had the same thought, this looks like the handle for a recliner.

The consensus is that it's a clay pigeon thrower.
