Champion Work Hose Electronic Trap

This thing is a hit when the guys come over. Throws well easy to set up and if you have a battery booster it runs great off of it. Makes for a much easier set up. My only complaint it the plastic piece that holds the clay magazine together is very cheap and flimsy and broke the first time I used it. But the unit still works and it's not enough for me to not give it 5 stars. The unit is alot of fun.

Hoy probé este equipo, y la verdad, lo recomiendo 100%, de 220 discos que tire, solo rompió 5, lo que se me hace bastante aceptable por lo delicados que son! No necesitas gastar en el wheelybird, esta es tu opción!

Received trap launcher yesterday. Took only a few minutes to assemble. Only a few parts and the instructions were clear. Paired it with a light, 20AH deep cycle battery and a "small-battery" box, also from Amazon. You will need a battery charger (I already had one) but, even with a cheap charger, you could probably be out the door for about $300 for the whole kit. We used it for the first time this morning. Worked flawlessly right out of the box. Launcher is solidly built and heavy enough (about 30 lbs) for stability but still easy to move. We did not even need the supplied stakes during use. It barely moved during launches (sitting on grass field). Fired a case and a half of clays without a miss ... the launcher I mean, I missed plenty. ;-). The "safety ring", which we did use, is very easy to install and remove for transport if you are tight on space. I do recommend using it, that swing arm comes around fast! Not something to use around small children or pets. Launch angle is adjusted by moving the back leg and to do that you have to remove and replace two wire-lock pins. It is not difficult but not quick so not something you would routinely do every 5 clays for example. In practice, I have found that I only need one pin and I don't bother locking it. If constantly varying the launch angle is what you need, my understanding is that a "wobbler base" will be available in 2018. Launcher does not shoot doubles but will fire sequentially with it's 2.5 second cycle time for as long as you hold the foot switch down which is fine for my needs and it sends them our far and fast. I actually have it paired with a Trius 1-Step manual launcher. With the included 25' foot-switch cable for the Workhorse, I can either shoot myself from the location of the 1-Step while controlling the Workhorse some distance away or, if I have another person, they can control both while I am free to move around the firing line to vary the target presentation. If you have or have seen a 1-Step in action, this unit seems to shoot faster and (to my eye) maybe 30% farther though I did not measure this. I love my 1-Step and this is even better. In case you have a smaller vehicle, the overall dimensions are ... without the magazine or safety ring, 24Lx19Wx20H depending on how you set the back leg. The clay guide just lifts right off for movement. It fits (left to right with the back leg folded over the top) in my Ford Fusion Hybrid trunk but I have to be careful putting it in as it is tight. Regarding the clay guide, I would suggest some blue lock-tight on the threads of the screws that attach the plastic ring on the top of the 4 rods. If you move the unit regularly, you can just lift the guide off the unit, keeping it assembled, but the screws tend to loosen up over time. Overall, I am very pleased and would highly recommend to anyone. Update: Have owned for a couple of months now and have put 2000+ clays through it with NO issues. Very pleased with product. Second Update: Have owned for about 1-1/2 years (no issues) and just added a Champion 40924 Wheely "Wobbler". Nice addition to the basic unit. Look up that on Amazon to see my review with pros and cons.

Excelente Producto compre 2 maquinas, y las dos me funcionaron perfecto... Muy buena velocidad... Muy contento.. yo recomiendo ampliamente.. Bueno, Bonito y Muy Barato

Had a blast with this thing. The success of this piece of equipment fully depends on the user hooking up an effective battery. Give it some good juice and you can shoot clays for a while. No point is sharing the duration on a battery since it varies per user and battery choice. We had no issues with the thrower, and it throw clays great. We did notice if you give it a low battery it starts to act funky, rightfully so. Offered great father and son time and we were able to use it safely. It is a bit heavy which is a good thing, but if you are not using it solo, it is a breeze to setup. I would save my money and not buy a wagon or wheeled version. Can't wait to use it some more.
