CENTERING THE FIELD
Step 10
– The machine will come set with the bolt in the center of the rotation gear box shaft as
shown in Photo #1 below. To center the field, fire a clay and see if the clay comes out of the center of
the trap house and travels straight away down the center of the field.
Step 11
– Next, adjust the turnbuckle if the clay is not traveling straight away down the center of the
field. Simply loosen the nuts on the turnbuckle and either push or pull the machine to get the trap to
fire the clay on center.
RETIGHTEN THE NUTS ON THE TURNBUCKLE TO HOLD THE
CORRECT ADJUSTMENT!!!
Step 12
– Once centering the clay is achieved, remove the 3/8” allen bolt from the center of the shaft
(Photo #1), remove the jam nut on the top of the nylon nut (Photo #2) and place the jam nut under the
clamp block as shown below in Photo #3.
Step 13
– Tighten the bolt in the center of the clamp block slot. You can now test the angle that the
machine will throw the clay.
Step 14
– To open up the flight angle of the clay, loosen the 3/8” allen bolt and slide it out on the slot
of the clamp block. Retighten the bolt securely and test fire. Sliding the bolt in on the slot will reduce
the angle flight of the clay.

Step 15
– You can adjust the distance that the clay is thrown by extending the spring. This is
achieved by winding tension on or off the main spring
using a ¾” wrench or the optional ¾” extended
socked which can be attached to an impact drive. This should be done with the machine in the
disarmed/safe condition for small adjustments.
AFTER ADJUSTING THE MAIN SPRING FOR THE
CORRECT THROWING DISTANCE, THE NUTS ON THE SPRING STUD MUST BE TIGHTENED
SECURELY AGAINST EACH OTHER.
