“Functional option.”

“Needs more weight to hold down during loading. 3/4s is easier than full model. However, first time you load it that IS a full turn. Ratcheting system does prevent arm from kicking back during loading --so that helps. Video on loading makes it look much easier than it actually is, but it's easy enough. The "full" model is NOT easy except for those with very much upper body strength or good weight behind them. I'm not weak in upper body and returned full model for this one. Will keep this one. Need tools to adjust direction of throws. Can be set up to throw alone with a cord. Definitely need more stakes or weight to keep it in the ground when loading. All in all a good option at a good (discounted) price to get out there and learn to hit targets before bird hunting and for just plain fun.”
