Uncle Les Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Hi folks Saw this trap advertised on ebay brand new for £335 for delivery; takes 50 clays- im quite tempted but would appreciate folks comments if they've used them before I purchase.

Mr Potter Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Promatic are used by the majority of top clay grounds throughout the UK and is a world wide brand. They are based on the Wirral not far from Chester so any issues or spares will be a) unlikely to be needed and b) if they are required then readily available. Don't be tempted by a very similar looking Chinese copy. It will probably be a few pounds cheaper but they have an unenviable reputation for reliability!!!

shoot and be safe Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 They have also been advertising them on there Facebook page. Look like a very good value trap to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimo22 Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 We have several promatic traps and they are professional quality traps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
station Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 We have 2 larger carousel versions and they are proving very reliable. Good build quality with solid tyres so not as easy to wheel about but also never flat ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 From the pictures it doesn't look as though you can tilt the trap side to side and the range in elevation is fairly limited. I have no doubt it will be well fastened together, but make sure it has the level of variability that you desire. Anything crossing is likely to be a bit edgy, but lots of fun all the same.

Bungle The Bear Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) I called the pro - matic man this morning he said that this trap is basically for teaching your kids to shoot. The new superhawk which he tried to sell me is £780 Edited December 22, 2016 by Bungle The Bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
