I need a trap

I'm looking to buy a new trap for skeet shooting, as the one I'm currently using is giving me trouble. I've seen models that allow the user to sit down in an attached chair, and would like to have that feature. I would also like to be able to fire two clays at a time. Can anyone recommend a good, strong trap with these two features?

Our club got a Do-all thrower this spring. It replaced an outers' head mounted on a homemade seat/tripod. We liked it so much we replaced a Trius sit down with a second Do-all. Now haveing two Do-all throwers on line and the Trius as an extra.

Our Do-all thrower is the 3/4 cock model. It only turns counter-clockwise on the pivot. On a regular thrower the arm swings back at the end of the throw, the 3/4 locks it there and the operator need only pull it down (from the left) to battery, before loading. This does away with bounce after each throw. We also found, unlike with or other throwers, once an operator sat down, they were more inclinde to stay seated and working the thrower.

The Do-all is a heavy well made thrower. The first draw back I can find is with the legs (it has four) their made to be removeable, but we don't remove ours the whole thing goes back in the shed at the end of the night. They tend to work themselves lose enough to slip around every other or third night of use. On a side but similer note, it does have a square hitch mount for mounting it right to a truck with a square quick hitch.

The second drw back is to change the thrower angle it takes a wrench. A simple stamped one comes with it, but will most likely need replace if you do any adjusting at all. Once it's adjusted and tightend down though it stays in place. The arm comes with a clip that holds the targets in place. You can throw single out to around 90 yards. It will throw stacked doubles. You can rasie the thrower high and throw popping target, but what we liked most of all was turning the thrower arm on it's side and throwing Rabbit targets!

We have only had our two Do-alls one season, so no long term reports, but we like them.
