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

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.

Quality materials, decent directions and works fantastic! The design amplifies body weight (or leg power) to launch the clays so the arm is never under high tension during cocking or while cocked. Very safe of you have kids or dogs (or idiot friends) with you. We have used this over several trips now and launched 3 or 4 boxes of clays from it with no signs of wearing our or getting loose. Great product.

Very easy to use. Built very well.

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

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!

Was wanting something that my kids could load themselves and not put them in danger. This is it!! Very sturdy product, went together easily. Several reviews said the instructions were bad, but my 11 year old son pretty much put it together by himself. Used it about 30 minutes and everything worked well. Looking forward to some fun family time in the back yard. If your looking for something easy to use and easy to assemble then this is it.

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!
