Our Western target throwers (circa 1950 something) are now officially worn out at our local trap range. I am writing a grant to get them replaced and also get two throwers for a skeet range, courtesy our state Game & Parks Commission. (Not international trap, I do know that is a whole 'nother different breed of cat.)

We have ten teams that shoot trap once a week for 12 weeks, plus maybe 20 other shoots in any given year. Not a lot of use, but that doesn't mean we want to go the cheapie route.

Can anyone recommend some good quality traps that have good customer service? We'll gladly spend the money up front for some quality units.

Thanks for any advice anyone can give me.

Take a look at Laporte and Lincoln trap machines. They're two of the best.

Update: Forget my recommendation of Laporte. I've read too many negative comments about them. Take a look at Pat Trap and GMV Superstar instead. They seem to be the current Cadillacs of trap machines.
