Clay pigeon thrower
- This is the correct answer. It's a hand helt clay pigeon thrower for skeet shooting.
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?
- I had the same thought, this looks like the handle for a recliner.
- 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?
- The consensus is that it's a clay pigeon thrower.
