the lip of the target tucked under the Flight Control Rail (G).
Slide the target under the Target Clip (I) to the desired position
along the Throwing Arm. The Target Clip should press against
the target just enough to hold it in place. If an adjustment
is needed, slightly bend the Target Clip until the desired
amount of pressure is obtained. Practice loading targets on
the arm a few times before proceeding.
