Once the machine has been set, all the important adjustments that make a Skeet machine can be made accurately and quickly without the need for tools.

Loading the clays. Your Signature Skeet machine will be either a UK or US designated trap. Clay sizes differ between the two, please ensure you load the correct size of clay into your machine. If the knife edges have been correctly set, the carousel can be loaded.
3. The Machine adjustments o Adjusting the mainspring Slacken the smaller of the two hand-wheels on the main spring. Turn the larger hand-wheel as necessary to adjust the tension in the mainspring. This will affect the speed and distance that the clay travels. Lock down the mainspring by retightening the smaller hand-wheel.
o Adjusting the elevation Turn the vertical turnbuckle located towards the front right hand side of the machine. Turning it anti-clockwise with increase the elevation, clockwise will reduce it. o Adjusting the tilt Turn the small hand-wheel located to the left of the machine. Clockwise will tilt the machine to the right, anti-clockwise, to the left.

Locking down In all cases, the orange locking levers can simply be turned enough just to clamp all positions securely. There are three clamps to fix the rotation and a single, larger clamp to fix the elevation. Adjust the operation of the clamp so only a half turn is necessary to affect a good clamp.
