Hi Everyone: Just purchased a Trius One Step and made some homemade smoking clays. Will be looking to try my new unit out in a couple of weeks.
Does anyone have any tips to using and loading clays? Read on some reviews this trap doesn't launch doubles very well. My first launcher was a Trius Birdshooter. Still have it and it works great at the launching portion of the program, however the pulling back on the arm is a little brutal for the person setting.
Thanks in advance for any advice you have to offer.
 
Went out yesterday and tried new launcher. Setting and loading was easy. Tried single and stacked doubles worked good. Minimum spring setting and flings singles good and crank up tension a little for doubles. I would recommend this product. Pull back arm with baby finger,load clay and step. Easy.
 
I really like how easy this design is for a single person.

I don't have a problem with resetting my cheap one, but it's annoying to have to put my gun down every time because i need two hands...
 
Does any one make something like the trius one step but able to throw 3 clays? I went out for the first time clay shooting with a buddy and his one step, fell in love but after 40 rounds i wanted something harder then 2 clays. I was thinking a bigger clip that holds them down while being thrown and a stronger spring. ... what do you recommend? Remember im a newbie. I dont even gave the lingo down yet lol

If you want something harder than two clays thrown with a portable thrower, then try actual skeet, or sporting clays. We have many people show up to shoot skeet or sporting clays after using a portable thrower, and most find out that the difference is huge.

Is that not the same thing?

Only someone that hasn't shot skeet or sporting clays would ask that question.:) No it's not the same, the targets are generally thrown faster, and they come from two separate throwers. They are also going in different directions. If you are averaging 90% with your portable thrower, you might make 70% at skeet and 50% at sporting clays. I have had many people come to our skeet field very confident after shooting hand thrown or portable thrower targets, only to have their bubble burst big time at actual skeet. And if they go to a sporting clays field , they are usually can't believe how much more difficult it is.

Ohhhh fast and 2 machines, that would be fun. Thanks for the heads up! Going to try that for sure. Have you ever seen a machine that can throw 3 clays?

The two round limit is for safety reasons. If two targets are thrown, and you fire two shots, the gun will be empty. There is much less chance of someone walking off of the station with a loaded gun. For singles trap, you only put one round in the gun.
 
Yes Lincoln manufactures a triple arm for their 3/4 #### manual launchers. We had one at The Temiskaming Bullseye Club and used it for a poison bird presentation. We would set it so it threw three birds tight together, a white with orange on either side. You had to break the two orange without hitting the white or all 3 were scored lost.
 
Lincoln dropped all specialty arms for their manual machines about 3 years ago. All you can get is the double standard and double rabbit arms unless they have recently re-introduced the specialties.
