    any old timers out there that know how a v1577 western trap drops that second bird? i know there are settings for doubles, but what does it do?
    do you still have to have a trap boy drop the second one in?
    thanks in advance.

    Is it a 1572 or a 1577? Google has a manual for a Winchester 1577.

    1577. i know theres some levers flipped and im pretty sure the length of the arm plate has to be changed.

    Trap loader has to set both targets. You remove the carousel, put the trap in the center hole(you don’t need to run the angling motor)crank the spring, adjust the field, change pegs(use the back one), shoot. Will not throw as nice a pair as a 1527 because of the arm length and shape, but someone knowledgeable can adjust decent targets. Believe you can find a manual on line, QRP maybe?
