This video reviews the Alford Hand Trap, a unique, handmade clay target thrower patented for its design by Fred F. Alford Jr. of Corpus Christi, Texas. While visually distinctive with its deer hide leather and bolo-tie-like buckles, the trap's functionality is debated. The presenters explore its operation, noting that proper tension, likely achieved with a zip tie due to the aged leather, is critical for performance. Despite its aesthetic appeal and historical interest, its practical effectiveness is deemed mixed, making it more of a conversation piece than a high-performance trap.
