Thank you for taking the time to consider our products. One of the most important things we do as a business is listen to our customers, both shooters and ground owners. This feedback goes into the continual development of all our traps and has helped us to become market leaders – not only in Sporting, FITASC and Compact/5-Stand but now in Skeet, ATA/Trap and Olympic Trap. Every year we support a number of major championships, such as the World FITASC Championship, World English Sporting, European Universal Trench, British Open and French FITASC Championship. BRIAN JARDINE CEO AND CHAIRMAN 4 Page 4 Manufacturing and supporting the World’s finest traps is only part of the story. Our goal is to help you create the finest shooting facilities. We now provide a range of integrated services from Ground Design through Installation, Training and Maintenance. Most are provided using our own highly skilled teams, but others – such as Course Design – utilise the best shooters and target setters from around the globe. We look forward to welcoming you as a customer and working with you in 2010. A LITTLE HISTORY If you enjoy clay target shooting, the chances are that you will have shot targets thrown from a Promatic trap. For over 25 years Promatic have been designing and building the finest automatic traps you can buy – but do not just take our word for it. Take a look at some of our customers’ comments elsewhere in this brochure or visit our website and study the map of shooting grounds and clubs that use our machines. Our reputation for quality is proven by the fact that many of our early machines are still in use at commercial facilities in over 60 countries. Our industry leading innovations such as the “Knife Edge” system have been bettered by none. Today we have a range of over 60 traps covering every discipline. Promatic traps are used on the world’s most prestigious shooting grounds and many National and International Championships solely specify our traps. By purchasing a Promatic you are buying into a heritage of proven sports engineering. OUR COMMITMENT We have sold in excess of 65,000 traps to grounds, clubs and individuals across all continents. Our commitment to the sport is total. Many of our team, from the shop floor to the Chairman, shoot clays on a weekly basis – often to competition standards. As a result, we are passionate about the sport and are always our harshest critic when it comes to designing and testing new machines. Besides some of the country’s top shots, we also sponsor young emerging talent who have yet to make their mark. They need our support to help them become the champions of tomorrow. Each weekend, during the season, we have teams around the World helping support local shoots and major championships so that the sport can prosper from grassroots upward. THE FUTURE OF SHOOTING p03-p33:PROMATIC 40pp (A) Q5 3/12/09 09:43 Page 5 p03-p33:PROMATIC 40pp (A) Q5 3/12/09 09:43 QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY When someone shouts “pull” a trap has to work first time, every time. The only valid excuse for a ‘no bird’ can be a substandard clay – and that is why quality is implicit in every product and service we market. The UK manufacturing plant is based in the heart of the aerospace and automotive region – their zero defect engineering disciplines and exacting component quality standards are incorporated into everything we do. Take our throwing arms – while most other manufacturers use a standard grade aluminium, which tends to flex and warp under continued use, we utilise a specialist aerospace grade alloy which can withstand the enormous pressures unleashed by our springs. Page 6 Your machine will be quality tested on completion of build and the tester’s initials attached to the machine alongside a serial number stamped onto the frame for security purposes. We provide you with warranties from 1 year to 3 years with an option to extend by a further 3 years. The main shaft and one-way bearing on all our traps have a lifetime warranty. In addition, our parts service still supplies spares to machines that we built over 20 years ago. We have a policy, where possible, of continuing support for all our machines – giving you the comfort that your machine can always be maintained. We know our traps are the best because for over 20 years ground owners all over the world have been using them in some of the most testing conditions on the planet, from the -30° winters of Moscow through to the heat of an Arizona summer – and everything in between – and yet these Promatic traps continue to work day after day, year after year. That’s what we mean by quality. VALUE FOR MONEY Target variety is essential for any club or ground that hosts local, county or national competitions – and that’s exactly what you get with Promatic traps…” GEORGE DIGWEED 6 You may be thinking that such quality, technology and heritage will be expensive – but you will be pleasantly surprised. Our traps start at unbelievably low prices and with a range of over 60 traps there is a machine to match all budgets and requirements. How do we do it? We sell thousands of traps each year and because we use modern manufacturing techniques we can pass the savings on to you. Ground owners and clubs need to not only consider the initial ‘day one’ cost of equipment but the overall lifetime cost to their facility. In doing this we think our traps provide unparalleled value for money – not only on the primary price but because our traps are designed to give years of low cost, low maintenance service with almost zero down time and minimal ‘no birds’. The focus at Promatic is on a partnership with you as a ground owner with the single aim of lowering your total cost of ownership so that you maximise your profits year on year. As this happens, you can then invest in ground expansion and additional traps. The net result is you benefit, your customers benefit, we benefit and the sport continues to grow. We are seldom beaten on price and never beaten on value for money.

Promatic has taken all of our years of experience of building the World’s Finest Commercial Traps to make the World’s Finest Personal Use Trap. It uses many of our legendary quality features – rugged 4mm high strength gold passivated steel construction, fully sealed electronics, commercial grade Pro-hand set, 55yds/165ft command cable, direct drive high power motor linked to a sealed alloy gearbox, full length throwing plate matched to an aero alloy arm for incredible distance with high target spin. In short you get consistent, perfect targets every time, with the knowledge that the life span of a Promatic trap is measured in years not weeks. A complete range of accessories and compatibility with Promatic Claymate electronics means that the Elite grows with you, providing an opportunity for future upgrades. • Holds 50 clays • Throwing distance of 75yds/225ft • Powered by 12 volt battery • Quality motorgear unit and clutch for 3/4 cocking ensures smooth operation and long life • Steel mainframe with rust resistance, alloy throwing arm • 1 year parts warranty, option for 3 years 8 KEY TECHNOLOGY 12 VOLT All of our traps can run from a standard 12v battery, so no messy wiring and total portability. You can attach one of our Solar Cells to maintain a charge for days on end or if you want, we can provide you with a transformer to link up to your main power supply. DTL/ATA BASE. p03-p33:PROMATIC 40pp (A) Q5 3/12/09 09:43 Page 9 PERSONAL SPORTING • FITASC • COMPACT/5-STAND SUPER HAWK & SUPER HAWK ABT WOBBLE KEY TECHNOLOGY MIDI Many of our Sporting traps can throw standard or midi clays by simply changing over the Carousel. The Super Hawk is even simpler, because our innovative design means you can quickly adjust the clay magazine so that in less than 5 minutes you are shooting midis. The brief for our design team was a difficult one – produce the most competitively priced trap available, suitable for individual use but which can match the performance of traps found on commercial grounds. The design solution was the Super Hawk that throws almost one target per second. The Super Hawk allows you to create a true following pair while its powerful motor means it can throw targets 100yds/300ft. If that speed and distance are not challenging enough, it will also allow you to use midi clays to really test the shooter’s skills. It is the largest single stack machine in our range with a capacity of either 65 standard or midi targets. As part of our ‘Personal Use Range’, a number of additional options can be fitted to the Super Hawk including the DTL/ATA base, footswitch or even a wireless remote release. The Super Hawk ABT/Wobble offers a ABT/Wobble simulation for ABT/Wobble training. Full wobble mode is selectable for total random targets and angle settings for height variation and spread of targets. It uses a totally new ABT/Wobble system designed in-house by Promatic’s development team based on our commercial ABT/Wobble traps. Utilising high power motors it allows for very rapid wide angle wobble movement but with a very smooth motion so the target presentation is wonderful. • • • • • SUPER HAWK ABT/WOBBLE.

It is ideal for groups such as friends and family or a small members’ club because it offers three or four times more capacity than our single stack machines. This allows you to hold competitive shoots using the Harrier without having to break off and refill the machine. Three, four or even five people can shoot a 30 target competition with no need to refill the machine. In common with our larger commercial machines the Harrier has the Promatic developed proven “Knife Edge” system which will feed wet and frozen clays without failure, which means that the Harrier is a machine for all seasons. • Stainless steel, alloy and corrosion protected parts for long lasting rust protection • Holds 200 clays • 2 second re-cocking time • Throwing distance of 80yds/240ft • Powered by 12 volt battery • Proven “Knife Edge” system to feed wet or frozen clays without failure • 3 year warranty • Throws standard clays, Midi carousel or Mini upgrade available • Comes with 55yds/165ft release cable, quality release switch and comprehensive owners manual 10 KEY TECHNOLOGY RUST RESISTANCE As our manufacturing plant and design team are based in the UK, we know a thing or two about the harshest weather. Our approach to Rust Proofing is to treat each individual component separately using stainless steel, alloys, polyester coating, zinc plating or gold passivating. HARRIER SHOWN ON OPTIONAL TROLLEY.

We want you to have the capability to create an outstanding competition course with as diverse a range of target presentations as is possible. That is why across our range of Sporting, FITASC and Compact/5-Stand traps you will find more models and options then any other manufacturer. DOUBLES LEFT HANDED MINIS Our new Double trap gives you a unique target presentation – two targets one above the other, barely inches apart. Target setters can control the angle between the pair, tilt, turn and speed of the target. A sensational new target with double the fun. Why would you want to make a left handed trap? Well, watch someone throw a Frisbee right handed and then left handed – see how it flies and curls in a totally different way. Our Ranger or Sporter 400 TT can be specified in left handed format so that you can set a unique challenge to shooters with targets that turn and curl in a manner beyond what they usually expect. Mini targets are becoming increasingly popular among target setters across the world. However, making a reliable Mini machine goes far beyond simply supplying you with some form of carousel insert. While at first sight this looks like a simple solution, it simply does not work! The reason is that the weight and size of a Mini means you need to have a specifically designed carousel, dropping mechanism and ‘Knife Edge’ if you want to achieve consistent zero no birds. And a Promatic trap is not a Promatic unless it can achieve zero no birds year after year regardless of the weather, target size or any other external factor. All of our Club and Commercial models can be upgraded to throw Minis. BATTUES We manufacture Battue machines to suit both club and commercial grounds. All can throw Battues right side up or upside down and the advanced models have tilt bases, giving you the ability to throw a curling target with performance and reliability that beats any other machine. MIDIS From the single stack Super Hawk to the ultimate Super Sporter you have the option of using Midi clays. All of the carousel machines are simply upgraded or can be specified when ordered to come in Midi format. WOBBLE Wobble traps provide both target variety and infinite possibilities for training, particularly if they are up a tower. That is why we have 8 different models of wobble trap from 65 bird capacity up to 550 birds. TRUE PAIR SYSTEM. 15 p03-p33:PROMATIC 40pp (A) Q5 3/12/09 09:44 Page 16 SPORTING • FITASC • COMPACT/5-STAND CLUB & COMMERCIAL EAGLE SERIES STANDARD, MIDI, MINI, BATTUE & DTL/ATA Weekend clubs all over the world use the Eagle – and it’s easy to see why. The combination of rapid re-cocking time, 275-300 target capacity and robust components, such as the stainless steel throwing plate, mean that it can meet their demands at an affordable price. Used on Sporting courses and Compact/5-Stand layouts, it can mimic the target presentations seen on commercial grounds and in international competitions. It allows club members to set up course designs from the novice training layout to the most testing. If you want a real challenge, put on the optional midi carousel, wind up the spring to its full 100yds/300ft performance and let off a following pair! • Steel mainframe with hard blue polyester finish, stainless steel and alloy • Holds 275-300 clays • 1.5 second re-cocking time • Throwing distance of 100yds/300ft • Powered by 12 volt battery • Proven “Knife Edge” system to feed wet or frozen clays without failure • 3 year warranty • Throws standard clays, Midi carousel or Mini upgrade available • Comes with 55yds/165ft release cable, quality release switch and comprehensive owners manual 16 KEY TECHNOLOGY KNIFE EDGE Often imitated but never matched, our Dual Knife Edge System leads the market. Some other machines use single blades or have knives which chip or scrape the clay leading to no-birds and dust building up on the machine. Using hardened machined blades which can be precision adjusted to match any clay, our unique system lifts and separates the clays. It works every time regardless of rain, heat or frost. EAGLE STANDARD. p03-p33:PROMATIC 40pp (A) Q5 3/12/09 09:44 Page 17 CLUB & COMMERICAL SPORTING • FITASC • COMPACT/5-STAND In addition to the standard Eagle, the series also includes Eagle DTL/ATA, Eagle Mini and the Eagle Battue. The DTL/ATA has a powerful oscillating motor giving random target presentation while the Eagle Mini has a dedicated Mini carousel. The Battue is ideal for Sporting clays or Compact/5-Stand because it is sturdy and durable, with strong performance and a 300 target capacity carousel. It allows you to load the battues in the carousel right way up or upside down for two different target presentations. You have a very simple set up, with no special adjustments required. A comprehensive range of optional accessories, including radio releases and an DTL/ATA base, are available so that the Eagle can grow as the club grows. HINTS AND TIPS BATTUES We sell four different Battue machines in the Eagle, Ranger, Sporter 400 TT and Super Sporter series. Each one has the capability to put battues in right way up or upside down. Try varying this because it provides a very different flight path and target presentation so you can give your shooters variety – and on competition days something a little different. NOTE THE CAROUSEL ON THIS EAGLE HAS A MIX OF NORMAL AND UPSIDE DOWN BATTUES. Target variety is essential for meaningful coaching sessions – and that’s exactly what you get with Promatic traps… WILL FENNELL 17 p03-p33:PROMATIC 40pp (A) Q5 3/12/09 09:44 Page 18 SPORTING • FITASC • COMPACT/5-STAND CLUB & COMMERCIAL RANGER SPORTER SERIES RANGER 8 TILT BASE. STANDARD, LEFT-HANDED THROWER, MIDI, MINI, ABT/WOBBLE, BATTUE, DTL/ATA The Ranger Sporter was created for larger clubs and commercial grounds where near constant use places a heavy demand on components, and machine down time can mean lost revenue. It gives you unrivalled performance, using advanced technologies and components to provide a flexible, multi-talented series of traps as either a right-handed or left-handed thrower. • Stainless Steel, alloy and corrosion protected parts for long lasting rust protection • Holds 300-400 targets • Tilt & Turn base • 1.5 second re-cocking time • Throwing distance of 100yds/300ft • Powered by 12 volt battery • Proven “Knife Edge” system • 3 year warranty (can be extended to 6 years) • Throws standard clays. Midi carousel or Mini upgrade available • Comes with 55yds/165ft release cable, quality release switch and owners manual RANGER 6 TILT BASE. TILT & TURN BASE Gives rapid changes to flight direction and profile. 18 p03-p33:PROMATIC 40pp (A) Q5 3/12/09 10:19 Page 19 CLUB & COMMERICAL SPORTING • FITASC • COMPACT/5-STAND RANGER CLUB ABT/WOBBLE WITH DUAL RAPID RESPONSE WOBBLE MOTORS. Also in the Ranger series is the Ranger Club ABT/Wobble trap with rapid response dual motors, giving wobble movement on the horizontal and vertical plains. Based on the standard Ranger Sporter, this ABT/Wobble has six different rotation angle settings and three different elevation angle settings. The machine features a built-in timer, which stops the oscillation motors once shooting has finished – thus extending battery life between charges. TRUE PAIR Take two high power Ranger Sporters, one right handed and one left handed, mount them on a purpose designed frame and use a clever electrical control to give precise simultaneous release. The result is true simultaneous targets including a low level crossing true pair. A shooter’s dream! TRUE PAIR. 19 p03-p33:PROMATIC 40pp (A) Q5 3/12/09 09:44 Page 20 SPORTING • FITASC • COMPACT/5-STAND CLUB & COMMERCIAL SPORTER 400 TT SERIES SPORTER 400 TT. STANDARD, LEFT-HANDED THROWER, MIDI, MINI, ABT/WOBBLE, BATTUE The Sporter 400 TT with its 400 target capacity plus Tilt and Turn (TT) base is designed and built specially for the world market. It has even more power, a 33 per cent increase in capacity, heavier duty components, uprated electronics and the capability to fire clays below the horizontal. With two Standard variations, a Midi, Mini, ABT/Wobble and Battue, you can specify the Sporter 400 TT Series across your entire Sporting, FITASC or Compact/5-Stand course. An upgraded high torque motor, matched to a high resilience gearbox and mechanics, enables the trap to handle the additional usage seen in a harsh commercial environment. We can supply the Sporter 400 TT as a left handed trap to throw a totally different flight profile. All six models in the series have a commonality of parts and set up. This makes the job for ground staff much easier because course changes, maintenance and trap servicing are easily learned and apply to all models. The Sporter 400 TT also integrates perfectly with our specialist traps — Chondel, Rabbit and Squirrel. The ability to throw a clay below the horizontal makes this trap ideal for use on a high tower, giving the course designer or training instructor the opportunity to present a testing rapidly descending bird. This feature has only previously been available in our high end Super Sporter Tower machines but our design team have managed to incorporate the technology into the Sporter 400 models. 20 HINTS AND TIPS LEFT-HANDED If you are putting together a competition Sporting/FITASC course, then consider using two or three left-handed Sporter 400 TTs as part of the mix. These machines use negative curl to throw a different flight profile to any other machine on the market and coupled with the Tilt & Turn base gives you the opportunity to throw a target below the horizontal. SPORTER 400 TT IN THE TEAL POSITION. FEATURES INCLUDE TILT & TURN BASE, 1.5 SECOND RE-COCKING TIME, THROWING DISTANCE OF 100YDS/300FT, POWERED BY 12 VOLT BATTERY AND THROWS STANDARD CLAYS.

Couple this with the unique polymer material used for the strip and you impart terrific spin onto the target, while at the same time minimising the chance of cracking it. That is why our targets fly further, faster and truer, giving consistent target performance for competition use. • Stainless Steel, alloy and corrosion protected parts for long lasting rust protection • Holds 400 targets • Tilt & Turn base • 1.5 second re-cocking time • Throwing distance of 100yds/300ft • Powered by 12 volt battery • Proven “Knife Edge” system • 3 year warranty (can be extended to 6 years) • Throws standard clays.

The Super Sporter has had years of hard use from the -30° winters of Moscow through the heat of a Texas summer and the harshness of sitting on top of a tower in the wilds of Scotland – and always works day after day, year after year. That is why it is the trap of choice for those demanding the very best. Our simple and efficient design uses the finest components and alloys available to deliver unbeatable performance and versatility in a rugged heavy duty package, building on the strength of the original Sporter machine. How much power do you need? This is the ultimate machine which can throw a target 130yds/390ft, out performing all others. The series is fully featured including elevation back to 70 degrees for near vertical teal targets with the ability to lean the machine over to throw curling clays. Available as the standard Super Sporter 8 (400 targets) or uprated Super Sporter 10 (550 targets) which offers hours of shooting between refills. Developed using the proven Super Sporter technology, the Promatic Downhill Thrower provides grounds with a completely new target presentation. Whether fixed on a hillside or on top of a tower, the downhill thrower can throw targets at downhill angles of up to seventy degrees. The innovative new clay retention system holds each target firmly in place. This, coupled with a tilt base and variable double springing, means the variety of presentations is enormous. 22 SUPER SPORTER 8 ABT/WOBBLE. HINTS AND TIPS COURSE DESIGN The Super Sporter is an incredibly flexible machine for target setters. The spring has tremendous power but is infinitely and precisely adjustable. This allows you to set the fastest targets possible or a slow curler, but also maintain complete consistency of speed and length of each target. Couple this with the tiltable base and ultra quick re-cocking and you have the perfect competition machine. NEW DOWNHILL THROWER p03-p33:PROMATIC 40pp (A) Q5 3/12/09 09:44 Page 23 CLUB & COMMERICAL SPORTING • FITASC • COMPACT/5-STAND Two versions are available (Super Sporter 8 ABT/Wobble and Super Sporter Tower) with all the features of our smaller ABT/Wobble traps in a high performance heavy duty package. Both models have seven elevation angle settings and 9 rotation angle settings. They are available with hard wired or radio operated inching control, making them a great coaching tool. The Tower version has a 550 target capacity plus the ability to fire below the horizontal to give some outstanding high tower targets. The Battue version is based on the Super Sporter for maximum performance. It throws Battues further, faster and at better angles than any other machine you can buy. Just like its smaller brothers, it will throw either right way up or upside down Battues without any additional adjustments required. SUPER SPORTER IN THE TEAL POSITION.

This represents the next generation of double thrower which is a dream for any target setter, with controllable tilt, turn and target speed. Range owners will appreciate the flexibility of having one trap which can cover any station, while shooters will simply love the challenge of hitting the unique double presentation. The key to this radically different design lies in a number of newly developed technologies being brought together, using the proven Super Sporter platform to ensure 100% reliability. The technologies include: • Pro-Time, a timing system that accurately and consistently place two targets on independent twinned throwing plates in under 2 seconds. • The use of aero-alloys and high grade ventilated stainless steel to create a light, but strong throwing mechanism, capable of coping with todays harsh bio-clays. • Pro-Change, an adjustable back rail system that allows you to micro adjust the target separation from zero degrees to plus/minus thirty degrees in just seconds. • Upgraded Spring, Motor and Gearbox systems so that 2 clays can be thrown over 80yds/240ft doubles and singles 100yds/300ft. 24 p03-p33:PROMATIC 40pp (A) Q5 3/12/09 09:44 Page 25 CLUB & COMMERICAL SPORTING • FITASC • COMPACT/5-STAND NEW • Dynamic Lead, by utilising different materials in the throwing mechanism one clay accelerates slightly quicker than the other, giving a subtle change in speed particularly noticeable on crossing targets. Like its Super Sporter brother, the Double Teal can be double/single selective elevated to 60 degrees for teal targets with the ability to lean the machine over to throw curling clays.

Each shot testing – but never impossible – so you come away having a magnificent day but wanting to return. Great courses seldom happen by accident – it is usually because of careful and considerate design. Having the best traps is not enough and so we provide a full Course Design and Project Installation service. The service can either use our own in-house design team or can be mixed with some of the greatest names in shooting such as George Digweed, Will Fennell or several other great shooters and professional designers we work with. Our designers will visit your site and assess the topography, natural features, vegetation and compass bearings at each stand. Each design will not only be sympathetic to the environment but will also look to meet Lakenheath Clay Target Centre offers the highest standard of Skeet, Sporting, Sportrap and FITASC competition – and we totally rely on Promatic traps.

This means you can utilise the course for corporate days, members evenings and weekend competitions – thus maximising revenue. We will design your course incorporating safety issues, landscaping, trap positioning and pathways. We will also help you source items such as high towers, trap houses and course furniture. Our Course Design service can be integrated with our trap installation and training so that we see the project through from inception to completion. 33 p34-p38:PROMATIC 40pp (B1) Q5 3/12/09 09:46 Page 34 BASIC LAYOUTS Thinking of installing a new Compact/5-Stand layout?

The result is a superb game simulator and flurry machine. The Huntsman is available in five models – the Hunter, the Fieldsman and three Huntsman versions. Driven pheasant, grouse or partridge, the Huntsman can give you low birds or high birds, slow birds or fast birds, prescribed or randomly presented birds. In fact, any combination that mother nature can throw at you, the Huntsman can simulate. HUNTER The Hunter is ideal for one or two shooters as it can simulate a wide variety of birds and shooting situations. Full wobble movement provides truly random bird presentations and the high power spring allows birds to be launched from behind the tree line or from valley tops. High Power Radio, 20 bird flurry and integral Radio Mast gives the ultimate flexibility and the rugged off road trailer means the Hunter can be used anywhere. 36 COMPREHENSIVE ONBOARD TRAP CONTROLS. p34-p38:PROMATIC 40pp (B1) Q5 3/12/09 09:46 Page 37 SIMULATED GAME FIELDSMAN Three Huntsman allow us to put on full Game Shooting days for up to 16 shooters. Last year we held simulated days for our normal members and corporate groups. RAISETHORPE ESTATE The Fieldsman links two high power throwers with a wide horizontal oscillating movement. Wireless remote allows pairs or singles to be thrown and the rapid re-cock times gives 12 birds in under 10 seconds. Ideal for smaller parties of shooters, the Fieldsman gives a wide target spread so is ideal for simulating driven pheasant – particularly when positioned on a hillside. The 20, 40 and 60 bird flurries all have different flurry patterns designed for single shooters (20 bird) or multiple shooters, plus a speed dial for full operator control. The high capacity of 800 targets means you do not need to re-fill the machines even on protracted shoots. As an option, one or both machines can be specified for Midi clays. 37 p34-p38:PROMATIC 40pp (B1) Q5 3/12/09 09:46 Page 38 SIMULATED GAME HUNTSMAN XP For training Game Shooters, novice or expert, the Huntsman gives you a perfectly controlled environment. The ultimate machine for simulated Game Shooting – two linked horizontally front traps and a separately oscillating rear trap (full wobble movement of rear trap on Super Huntsman XP). The result is a naturally flowing spread of birds over a huge area. You can simulate driven pheasant, darting grouse or partridge. Used by discerning game shooters, syndicates and Estates across Europe, the Huntsman is the machine for anyone who takes game shooting seriously. Extend your season, make full use of the Estate, train novice shooters or simply get ready for the season ahead. The Huntsman gives you total flexibility and enhanced Estate revenue earning. WEST LONDON SHOOTING SCHOOL Included on the Huntsman XP is a high specification intelligent three stage battery charger system.

Promatic traps are competition recognised, approved and comply with all ISSF regulations. In 2005 the newly installed Puerto Rico facility hosted the prestigious IX Championship of the Americas with elite competitors from the North, Central and South Americas competing for Olympic places for the 2012 Olympic Games in London. In addition to our traps, we have a comprehensive range of accessories and installation services for anyone looking to set up their own Olympic Trap, Universal or Double Trap facility. The Russian Shooting Union has been widely using Promatic traps since 2001. We tested all makes of traps for continuous operation and target consistency in temperatures from -30°C in rain, snowfall and sudden temperature drops from +5°C to -5°C over a 3-5 hour period. The best results were achieved by Promatic traps. Since 2004, Promatic traps have been widely used in our Olympic trenches. They fully conform to all ISSF regulations and our Olympic Team, including Alexei Alipov (Athens Gold Medallist), are training on them in the run up to the London Olympics. As part of our Olympic preparations, we hold a number of major competitions and in all cases the traps perform superbly. Our plans are to rapidly grow the Olympic Shotgun sports throughout Russia and Promatic assists in those plans greatly…” VLADIMIR LISIN PRESIDENT – RUSSIAN SHOOTING UNION 44 I have used Promatic traps at my shooting school since their introduction in 1984 and have seen their products develop over the years.

Claymate users report sales increasing by 30% to 40% and clay usage falling by 30%. For many clubs it has meant the difference between a successful business or having to close ! Wi-Card uses what look like standard plastic credit cards, but embedded in the card are clever electronics which, when held close to the control unit, use secure wireless communication to count the number of clays a shooter throws. As there are no contacts on the cards or the control units, the system performs flawlessly in the great outdoors taking everything mother nature can throw at it – rain, sleet, snow, dew, mud or dust. p49-p58:PROMATIC 40pp (B1) Q5 3/12/09 09:48 Page 57 CONTROLLERS, COUNTERS & WIRELESS RELEASES While many Range owners are facing a tough financial challenge, Wi-Card ensures that you get paid for every clay thrown on your ground and offers greater facilities for shooters. COUNT UP TARGETS USED AND CHARGE AT THE DAYS END ONCE YOU CLOSE A STAND NOBODY CAN USE IT IF A SHOOTER TRIES TO USE A CARD FROM ANOTHER GROUND OR EVEN INTRODUCE A NON PROMATIC CARD PRE-PAY TARGETS IN ADVANCE AND THEN COUNTDOWN The cards are low cost and you can decide if shooters have to pre-pay (buy their targets before shooting) or run a membership system (the shooter settles up his bill based on the number of targets shot). For the first time you have total flexibility in charge rates; you can charge different rates for sporting or skeet, members or guests. You can even charge different rates per station for things like expensive rabbit targets. High security encryption means that cards are unique to your ground and can be locally printed, thus acting as a club membership card. At the day’s end you simply walk around the ground with your master card to automatically close down each station, thus ensuring no unauthorised use of the ground during closed hours. This is vital if your ground has restricted opening hours or you are concerned about people coming onto the course outside of opening hours. In line with the philosophy of keeping it simple to use, no PC is needed to operate the system. Later we will be releasing Pro-Club, a full PC based Club Membership system which will integrate with the cards and utilise data recorded and downloaded from each card. Shooters will love the cards. They are the same size and thickness as a credit card with no batteries or connections. Place the card within 1 inch of the sensitive pad to operate. The ultra large LCD display shows the shooter what is happening at all times, including a target count while the inbuilt speaker gives audio confirmation to the user such as the Solo Shooter audible countdown. • Systems for Sporting, Compact, 5-Stand, Skeet, DTL/ATA and Olympic Trap • 100% reliable in all Weathers • Pre-wired for all Promatic Traps • Cards can be set to count up or down • Cards can be either Target based (system adds or subtracts each target) or … • Cards can be cost based (system adds or subtracts the COST of a target from a cash ‘pot’) • Cards can be set to start or stop from any target value from 1 to 9,999 targets • Multiple Charging: Members or Guests rates, Sporting or Skeet, Standard or Rabbits – You decide what to charge • Single or Double Arm Counting • Solo Shooter Delay • End of day Shut Down, and Morning Wake up routines so you control your opening times • Single Targets, Following Pairs or Simultaneous Pairs • Controllers all feature a large 2 line 16 character display to show target selections, targets thrown and other system information. • Ground Code and Identification Number match card & ground for total security • Controllers can be securely set to 'Free-Play' for competition days when target counting is required as well as clay launcher control but without needing a card to operate • Stuck button detection • Connectors for two handsets • Full Audit functions • Easy to use menu system and shooter instructions on each unit • Audio feedback to shooters • Cards can be printed as membership cards • Compatible with Super Sporting, Skeet/Trap Claymate and Multi-trap controllers including Evolution • Engineer’s cards for maintenance and trap filling. 57 p49-p58:PROMATIC 40pp (B1) Q5 3/12/09 09:48 Page 58 CONTROLLERS, COUNTERS & WIRELESS RELEASES • Clay Counter Systems for Sporting, DTL/ATA, Skeet and Olympic. If you are not counting your targets you are literally throwing money away. With target losses typically running at 30%+ our Counter Solutions not only increase your profits but also add functionality such as solo shooting to your course. They are easy to use, pay for themselves and, uniquely, have hardware and software encoding and encryption, so no-one can clone your cards and shoot for free. • Five Stand & Flurry Controllers. Wired and Wireless systems suitable for commercial grounds and which have the facility to link to our Clay Counting Solutions. Control Sporting, Compact/5-Stand and Flurries with several built in programmes and 6 user definable programmes. Attach separate “Fire” and “No Bird” two button releases for competition grade control. If you have a commercial course you can lock down the controls so shooters have limited options. • Wireless Releases. Our new Promatic Max-Range of Single Button, Three Button, Compact/5-Stand and Huntsman Flurry wireless releases use the latest in wireless technology such as our high gain aerials and weatherproof enclosures. This provides you with a far longer range while minimising the effects of weather, trees, hills and all of the other factors that make most other systems almost unusable. The transmitters and receivers are user encoded to allow multiple traps on a single site without interference. • Pro-Delay Solo Shooting. A simple plug and play system which gives any of our traps a 2.5 second delay capability. Simply plug the cable into the trap and then attach a standard release cable, foot release or radio release. The Pro-Delay gives you a 2.5 second delay to your first target release, or press up to 5 times to get a sequence of following birds. Ideal for a following pair or a mini-flurry when shooting with a friend. 58 Covers 2010:PROMATIC 40pp Covers Q5 3/12/09 09:51 Page 5 PROMATIC SERVICES TRAINING As an owner or club you have invested a substantial amount in your facilities. We can help you protect that investment through proper staff training. Our trainers will cover: • • • • • • • TRAP INSTALLATION Health & Safety Moving and handling the traps Routine maintenance Standard adjustments Getting the best out of each machine Problem solving Consideration for course designs The courses are specific to your machines and your requirements and no prior knowledge of traps is needed or assumed. All staff trained will receive an accreditation certificate at the end of the training. The course can either be held on your site or at our premises. Do you need help with the set up and installation of your traps? MAINTENANCE As part of our services to ground owners and clubs we can deliver, install, commission and test each machine. We have a team of trained personnel who use our own fleet to deliver the traps, unload them, place them in position, commission each machine and go through a pre-set test routine to ensure that everything is working perfectly. You can combine this with our on-site training so that your operatives learn all about safely using the traps and routine maintenance procedures. For large clubs and commercial facilities we provide a bespoke maintenance service. We will visit your ground on a regular basis, typically twice yearly, to maintain each of your traps. Each machine will be cleaned, lubricated, tested, adjusted and, if necessary, have parts replaced under warranty free of charge. Our professional maintenance staff are qualified to work on any of our machines. Costs are quoted on a fixed price basis to include all labour, parts, material and travel. Regularly maintaining your machines will mean less down time, longer asset lives and happier customers! EVENTS & TRAP SPONSORSHIP From two traps to 200 traps, Promatic can help you organise your shoots or events. Our dealers have rental fleets available across the USA. Call for prices and details.
