Trius 10201 1-Step Clay Pigeon Trap, Multicolour, One Size

It's made in USA where they're pretty keen shooters. I found it robustly made, it's a simple, clever and inherently safe design, and it works rather easily. Cocking it is a one finger operation. Load a clay and then there's no tension until you press the foot pedal. The pedal both tensions the main spring and then releases the throwing arm near the bottom of the pedal range. If you lift your foot off before the clay is released it goes back to unstressed and safe again.

Really nice and sturdy thrower. Pretty consistent with where it throws. The rubber on the two front legs was worn after two test fires wile putting it together, but they don't matter at all really. Great bit of kit, just a shame about the price plus import tax.

Ok

I purchase items for the Hants West Wildlife Association and this particular Trap Machine was on our radar list. I have never had such an easier machine to load, and then all you have to do is step on the pedal. it is possible for one person to use this machine. The HWWA throws anywhere from 200 to 300 clays at our range days and so far this has more than held up. Well constructed and easy to use as a side note we no longer use any of our other basic hand mechanical throwers. The cost may look at first high but the satisfaction and reliability more than off set that. Singles and doubles and changing angles is not hard, we use this machine in tandem with our electric remote thrower giving us the best basic range set up. You will be very pleased with this trap machine.

This thing is great. As others indicated, the directions are a mess. The only reason that matters is the initial connection of the axis. Use the washers to level it, look at the picture on the box, and you will figure it out. As far as the upper portion/moving parts, it is incredibly simple. With good directions, it would take five minutes. With none, it may take you twenty. As far as operation, it is great. Not sure what others are claiming when a 250# person cannot press down the pedal. It takes maybe 30# of force to launch. Hard to say, but basically if it is not launching or spongy, tighten the chain on the right. Once that is configured, which only takes a few launches to figure out, there are no issues. It is nice to use the force with your leg rather than your arm. Just to see if the solo angle (this was apparently marketed as a device for you to throw and shoot contemporaneously) was anything other than insane, we each shot two sets of five where we launched and then shot the clays. It is actually workable, although much more advisable to have one person launching and the other shooting. The different launch angles are adjusted by a large screw/wingnut that takes about twenty seconds to change. The way force is applied, it digs in and becomes more stable as your session progresses. You do not need any anchors. There is no breakdown of the unit other than taking it apart altogether. If it has to fit in your trunk you need about eighteen inches or so. This thing overperformed big time. For the money it is a steal.

Utilisation le week end. Facile d utilisation et solide.

Fue un regalo para mi hermano, la idea de poder accionar el mecanismo con el pie facilita mucho que no dependa de nadie para lanzar el plato como ocurre con las de cuerda. El único inconveniente es que debe apoyarse en un suelo donde pueda anclarse como en tierra, porque del impacto al lanzar rebota si no está anclada. Se puede graduar con una cadena la distancia a la que puede llegar al plato, pero es verdad que mientras mas lejos lo pongas mas cuesta apretar el pedal, incluso haciéndose demasiado costoso.

Decided this year to start shooting clays we have a local public range and my wife and I thought it would be something fun to do together. Bought a Remington 870 and a hand thrower and headed on down to give it a try first gun I ever owned and had never really shot because I'm a fisherman at heart. First time out of 75 rounds I only hit 2 targets wife and I really had problems throwing the targets with the hand thrower! Chalked it up to inexperience headed down the next weekend same thing only hit 2 targets out of 75 rounds now getting discouraged and thinking maybe this isn't for me and I wasted my money buying the gun! Fortunately that day at the station next to us were 2 guys using the Trius step thrower and they got talking to use about it. Long story short they showed us how to use it so we decided to buy one. It was easy to assemble and off to the range we went. That day shot 100 rounds and hit over 50 percent of the targets so now doing a lot better this is fun! Once you learn how to use it it throws clays really consistent and makes your shooting experience much more fun. There is a trick to stepping on the release pedal stand over the thrower and use constant pressure don't jab at it. Also it does jump around if not mounted to a tire but we don't have it mounted so we just deal with it. Does not break clays throwing unless you have the clay not flush against the throwing bar. Only reason I gave it four stars for accuracy is that I've had issues throwing doubles. It says you can throw side by side or stacked doubles but the side by side can only be thrown at the lower 2 of the height settings and one of the clays always seems to break. Stacked doubles you will not have the breakage problem so I stay with the stacked clays. Now with lots of clays thrown with it I'm shooting in the 80% range of breaking clays and couldn't be happier! Great product and we plan on buying another for my daughter for Christmas. Enjoy!
