Choosing the Right Caldwell Clay Thrower
Caldwell Claymore Target Thrower
The Caldwell Claymore is a foot-operated clay pigeon trap with a 50-target magazine. It launches standard clays over 55 yards and features adjustable throwing angles, standard operation and a flurry mode for repeated target presentations. Its folding design makes transport and storage more convenient.
Caldwell Claymore Solo
The Caldwell Claymore Solo is a compact foot-operated target thrower designed for straightforward clay shooting practice. It features adjustable launch angles, folding legs and compatibility with standard, midi and mini clay targets. It can also launch single or double targets, offering flexibility for different practice sessions.
Caldwell Claymore PullPup
The Caldwell Claymore PullPup is a handheld clay target launcher designed for portability and varied target presentations. Its adjustable spring tension allows it to launch standard, midi and mini clay targets over 55 yards, while the handheld design allows the operator to vary the throwing angle. Integrated grip safeties help keep hands clear of the throwing mechanism.
Manual vs Foot-Operated Clay Traps
Handheld clay throwers offer portability and flexibility, allowing the operator to change target angles and presentations between launches. They are particularly useful when practising with another person operating the launcher.
Foot-operated clay traps provide a more fixed launching position and can make individual practice more convenient. Larger designs, such as the Caldwell Claymore, also provide a magazine-fed system for repeated target launches without manually loading each clay between shots.
