Promatic GrouseNAGA member Promatic’s new “Grouse” has the ability to throw multiple flurries as well as individual machine launching capabilities. With birds leaving the trap at speeds in excess of 70 mph, the new launcher will surely entertain shooters while putting a fine edge on their wing-shooting skills.

Bristling with a phalanx of proven Promatic Matrix throwers, the machine is controlled by digital Promatic Claymate electronics.

Features include: six Matrix traps, each with a 168-clay carousel for a

total of 1,008 birds; and six-trap syn-chronized rotation, with individual trap elevation between 7-45 degrees.

The Grouse boasts a throwing distance of 100-plus yards, plus the option of choosing individual trap control or random flushes of be-tween one and six birds from all six traps, with a total of up to 200 birds per flush.

Aiding in towing and maneuver-ability, the Grouse trailer is equipped with rugged off-road wheels, a jockey wheel for easy positioning and jack stands for precision leveling. List price is $23,995.
