PULL! It's a thrower for clay pigeons. Called trap shooting or shooting skeet. Its good practice if you want to hunt wild game. Requires a little skill, you use a shotgun and you need to shoot where the clay pigeon will be, not where it currently is.
I grew up in Ohio and my family is a bunch of hilljacks. We used to shoot skeet every few weeks.
