Technical Specifications

Performance & Practical Use

The High Fly® manual trap gives shooters control over launch timing and sequence, enabling repetition and skill development without the complexity or cost of mechanical or automatic launchers. Its string-release design works reliably with a firm pull, sending the clay into a predictable arc suitable for target shooting training.

Because it doesn’t require power, hoses, or batteries, this trap is especially useful for shooters practicing in remote locations, backyards (where allowed), informal competitions, or learning basic target presentations.

Best Suited For

✔ Backyard or range trap practice
✔ Shooters learning to track and break clays
✔ Group training where one person launches for others
✔ Budget-friendly practice without powered equipment
✔ Field and sporting clay enthusiasts wanting simple setups

User Tips

Secure Setup:
Place the trap on level ground before launching to ensure predictable flight paths and reduce the chance of tipping mid-release.

Practice Safety:
Always stand well clear of the launch arm and trajectory arc before pulling the string; ensure no one is downrange.

Target Placement:
Experiment with target angle and orientation to vary flight paths and better simulate different shooting scenarios.

Weather Care:
Although weather-resistant, occasional wiping and inspection after wet conditions helps protect components long-term.
