Anyone know if there is an automatic clay rabbit thrower made that is priced anywhere near the cost of an automatic clay bird thrower/trap. I have a White Wing auto clay bird trap, but you can't throw rabbits with it. I have a Clayhawk that will throw rabbits and birds, but it isn't automatic. You can find auto traps like the White Wing starting at about $250, and manual traps like the Clayhawk from about $70 and up. The lowest priced auto trap for rabbits I've seen so far is about $1600.
Anyone know where I can find one more priced for the average shooter?

No, but now I need to know what a clay rabbit is, and why you would throw one.

Clay bunnies roll along the ground, bouncing over the terrain & making sporting clay shooters develop their vocabularies.

Bunny Judo is a good way to put them down after you've emptied both bbls; hence the term to "throw" one.
 
I found this, could be easy to modify.

Good eye BP. That is exactly the one I'm using. By the way, anyone interested in a clay bird thrower, I would recommend this one. I don't see how you could beat it for the price.

If you are ok with slower rabbits look at gravity rabbit set ups.

I think you are referring to a ramp, and the clays rely on gravity to throw them or roll them. I tried that and was unable to get them to roll more than about 10 to 15 feet, and they were very slow. I also had it to where I could load 7 clays into it and control the feed with a rope. That part worked great, but just no real speed or distance.
The rig I'm working on now, I tested my idea using part of the same ramp, my cordless drill and a wheel/tire made from some packing foam I have. Throws the clays at a pretty fast speed, and probably about 20 to 30 yards. Also, I can load it with about 25 clays at a time. We'll see how well it actually works when I'm done with it. Either it will work pretty good, or I'll slink away with my tail between my legs. But, nothing beats a failure except a try.

I'm looking forward to that video.
 
Don't let the speed fool you. Slow rabbits are hard to hit. The best shooters on our course absolutely hated the gravity rabbit. But we had a decent hill to work with. They were slow but they would roll forever. Generally laughing and taunting you as they rolled down the rest of the hill.

Maybe I'll try and make both the auto I'm working on and a gravity fed as well.
