FEATURES

3/4 COCKING FEATURE
• After releasing trigger, arm automatically ends up in a
semi-cocked position. This allows operator to load targets
quickly, safely, and then fully cock arm with a short, easy
pull on the arm.
BALANCED
• Dynamically balanced through computer design. The
force generated by the arm when released is absorbed and
distributed for a smooth throwing action - no "aftershocks"
that make other traps jump and twist out of position.
NO MOUNTING NECESSARY
• Can be used on many types of terrain. Trap rests on top
of ground and is held in position by standing on the trap
base.
ADJUSTABLE
• Main trap body adjusts vertically for a variety of bird flight
simulations. Entire trap can be adjusted to create other
challenging target flights.
• Tension on mainspring can be adjusted to adapt flight
distance of targets to length of throwing area.
POST MOUNT INCLUDED
• Allows trap to be mounted on top of a post to provide a
semi-permanent installation.
THROWS ALL TARGETS
• Throws standard targets over 70 yards; smaller targets like
minis and midis fly farther.
TARGET CLIP
• Target clip locates targets consistently on throwing arm
and keeps them from shifting before releasing arm. Fully
adjustable for any type of target.
PORTABLE
• Assembled trap weighs under 20 Ibs. for convenient easy
transport to and from the practice field.
SAFE
• Trigger interlock feature provides fail-safe operation.
• Three-piece ring encircles trap to designate throwing arm
path.
DURABLE
• Constructed of heavy gauge steel and high strength
aluminum.
• Paint is electrostatically bonded and baked on for a
durable gloss finish.
