Trius 10201 One Step Trap, Red ,1 Count (Pack of 1)

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.

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!

I bought this One Step Trius trap along with another Trius hand-cocked version that blows. The One Step turned out to be a great, easy to use, easy to adjust and super durable. My One Step has maybe 45 hours on it, and continues to work perfectly with occasional adjustments. My friend who suffers with Parkinson's disease uses my One Step to throw 100 clay's for me a couple times a week, and loves it. It's simple to cock and you needn't be the incredible hulk to tension the spring. Easy to adjust for height, right-left direction and throws double easily. Let me tell you, this Trius One Step is the one to buy if your a casual clay bird shooter, and whom ever you get to run the trap will thank you!

This thing is amazing. Heavy duty and works great.

This Clay Thrower is a solid choice for anyone looking for an easy-to-use and adjustable clay thrower. One of the best features is how simple it is to change the throwing angle—just adjust a single bolt, and you're good to go! It’s sturdy, and the spikes dig into the ground well, keeping it securely in place during use. It can be a bit finicky at times, occasionally not releasing the arm when you step on the lever, but this doesn’t happen too often. When it works (which is most of the time), it sends clays flying consistently and smoothly. Overall, it’s a great, reliable thrower that makes target practice a lot of fun!

This product is well made, and it works far better than the $32 Winchester trap I bought at Walmart, which was unbelievably flimsy and was returned to the store immediately. As others have said, the assembly instructions are terrible, and one would think that the company would read these reviews and fix that problem. But it was not hard to assemble, thanks to the photo on the box and comments on this website. Even on the lightest tension setting, this will throw clays almost 50 yards. The "step" lever that you stand on with one foot does wobble a couple of inches from side to side when it is in the highest position, so you have to step down firmly and without hesitation. If you try to step down slowly, your foot will wobble all over the place. But that is a minor point. This is fantastic for a single person wanting some shooting entertainment, and it works far better than jerking on a rope to trigger other types of traps I have seen. I don't think you can get much better shotgun entertainment for this price. I have not tried shooting doubles yet, but this trap theoretically can throw two clays side by side according to the owner's manual if you crank up the tension on the launch spring and lower the angle of the arm so that the back clay does not slide off the arm. (There is a clay holding lever, but it is only big enough to hold one clay.) You also can stack one clay on top of the other, although I tried that once quickly just for fun and it resulted in two wobbly clays that did not spin very well or go very far. Depending on where you place the clay on the launch arm, you can get launches in sometimes unexpectedly different directions. But with some practice and making sure I always placed the clay exactly in the same spot on the arm, I have been able to throw clays pretty much in the direction I want them to go, and if I miss the clay with my shot and it lands on grass, the clays seldom break and are reusable. All in all, this is highly recommended. The only thing better than this would be a self-loading electronic trap that can launch a large stack of clays at set intervals, but you are talking big money for something like that.

I finally got a chance to go out shooting . I Put about 200 clay through it. Worked very well. The very first clay broke but it could have been cracked. The trigger chain came off of the spring one time wile my son was operating it. But he was stepping down and taking his foot off of it right away. You must keep stepping down until the arm stops. Then take your foot off. That will keep it from moving around also. I was busy shooting and didn't see what he was doing.i really don't care for the way the release is set up with the chain. As for the instruction it tells you everything you need to know. With a little common sense you don't even need the instruction. All in all its the best clay thrower I ever used.i was going to get a automatic thrower , I'm glad I got this instead . Easy to transport , easy to use, takes littl storage space ., nothing to hook up .a fraction of the cost, great for practicing . I can't say for how well it will hold up , I only used it one time so far

The other reviews weren't kidding, the assembly instructions for this feel like they are missing the majority of the key information needed. It took a combination of the instructions, a LOT of staring at the picture on the box, and educated guesses before I was able to get this thing assembled properly. It's actually not very difficult at all to put together, and I could probably assemble a second one in a couple of minutes, but the instructions are absolutely horrid. However, once assembled, this trap is spectacular. It's solid, stays still (the front end has spikes to those into the ground), and fires high, fast, and true. There are four elevation settings, we used the second highest setting for a nice high, long arc. You can tighten the spring for a more powerful throw, though that does make the trigger a little harder to press. At a tighter setting, the guys had no trouble, but a 115 lb. girl had to stand up with all her weight in order to fire off the trap. But again this was due to us cranking up the power pretty far. The trap also seems very safe, as there is no tension when it is cocked, the tension is only applied while you are standing on it to fire it off. We shot off about 120 clays in one sitting during which there were very high winds, and each clay sailed straight and true. We'll never go back to hand throwers again! One note: the instructions state that you can throw two clays, but you really can't at any useful angle. The clip is only long enough to hold one in place. I believe if you use the lowest possible angle, a second clay would stay in place, but we have not tried the lowest angle yet - I'm not sure it would get very good height unless it was fired off from higher ground.

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.

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.

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.

Buen producto facil de montar ideal para pasar el tiempo
