    Default I updated my traps...

    After using 3/4 cocking hand traps over the last several years at our yearly RA camp I upgraded recently to automatic electric (12V) traps. These hold 250 targets each and have wireless remote controls.I leave tomorrow for a week with appx 250 young boys and will get back with how these worked out.

    I built the portable carts they are on and they also will fit in a 2" reciever hitch. In the picture I have one installed on my polaris ranger. They are fairly light in weight and are very portable.

    Nice setup, I would be broke with a setup like that. I would always be shooting.

    That looks great, and after I was done shooting, you just go out and pick them up and refill your thrower LOL

    Well I returned from RA camp. Had 314 young boys/men come through the shooting program. The traps worked well and without a hitch. After this past week I dont know why it took so long to get these.

    I was able to get some target presentations I was not able to with the hand set traps. It sure is nice having an incoming floater for the boys that have never fired a shotgun let alone even a firearm to be able to smash one!

    All in all, I love spending a week of my life(sometimes busy ) bringing our youth/future into the shooting sports BUT most of all bringing them closer to our Lord.
