The beauty of the Archery Trap and Sporting Arrows is that it can be anything and everything that you want it to be. For fun, the rules are what you make them and for competition, there are already some suggested Rules available if required
Archery is an instinctive sport, particularly when shooting moving targets. With the Archery Trap you are able to clearly follow the path of your arrow in respect to the moving target and immediately make auto corrections necessary. This together with the rapid 2-second re-arming time of the trap, will allow you to maintain both rhythm and concentration to improve your performance.
We offer a variety of target release options. The Phoenix Trap comes with a cable release button as standard. Also available is the option of a remote wireless release, voice activated release and if you are practicing on your own, a foot pedal release.
The targets are made from patented Ethafoam formulation with a density that effectively stops the arrow and also allows for easy extraction. The targets are light, waterproof, washable, non-toxic and completely harmless if striking or falling on a person.
Each 25cm (10") target is capable of withstanding in excess of 500 hits. If the target is struck every time that it is launched (highly unlikely), the magazine of 65 targets will have a life expectancy of 65 x 500 = 32,500 launches.
More realistically, if each target is struck 1 in 4 times that it is launched, the life of a magazine of targets increases to around 130,000 launches - a year or more of fun. depending on useage. (By comparison, the life expectancy of one magazine of archery targets is equal to approximately 15 pallets of clay targets.
