Built from durable alloy steel and weighing 30 pounds, it offers stability without sacrificing mobility, making it a top choice for millennial professionals seeking efficient, high-performance shooting practice. ## Description Moving up to an electronic trap was once a major investment in space and money. Not anymore. The affordable Champion workhorse electronic trap lives up to its name, combining high-volume target-throwing capacity in a compact design. It fits in the trunk of most any vehicle, and can be unloaded and set up by one person. The detachable magazine holds up to 50 clays, and can throw them with three different launch angles up to 75 yards. The Champion workhorse can keep throwing clays until you run out of daylight or ammunition - whatever comes first. Review: A great time at the Trap field - Received trap launcher yesterday. Took only a few minutes to assemble. Only a few parts and the instructions were clear. Paired it with a light, 20AH deep cycle battery and a "small-battery" box, also from desertcart. You will need a battery charger (I already had one) but, even with a cheap charger, you could probably be out the door for about $300 for the whole kit. We used it for the first time this morning. Worked flawlessly right out of the box. Launcher is solidly built and heavy enough (about 30 lbs) for stability but still easy to move. We did not even need the supplied stakes during use. It barely moved during launches (sitting on grass field). Fired a case and a half of clays without a miss ... the launcher I mean, I missed plenty. ;-). The "safety ring", which we did use, is very easy to install and remove for transport if you are tight on space. I do recommend using it, that swing arm comes around fast! Not something to use around small children or pets. Launch angle is adjusted by moving the back leg and to do that you have to remove and replace two wire-lock pins. It is not difficult but not quick so not something you would routinely do every 5 clays for example. In practice, I have found that I only need one pin and I don't bother locking it. If constantly varying the launch angle is what you need, my understanding is that a "wobbler base" will be available in 2018. Launcher does not shoot doubles but will fire sequentially with it's 2.5 second cycle time for as long as you hold the foot switch down which is fine for my needs and it sends them our far and fast. I actually have it paired with a Trius 1-Step manual launcher. With the included 25' foot-switch cable for the Workhorse, I can either shoot myself from the location of the 1-Step while controlling the Workhorse some distance away or, if I have another person, they can control both while I am free to move around the firing line to vary the target presentation. If you have or have seen a 1-Step in action, this unit seems to shoot faster and (to my eye) maybe 30% farther though I did not measure this. I love my 1-Step and this is even better. In case you have a smaller vehicle, the overall dimensions are ... without the magazine or safety ring, 24Lx19Wx20H depending on how you set the back leg. The clay guide just lifts right off for movement. It fits (left to right with the back leg folded over the top) in my Ford Fusion Hybrid trunk but I have to be careful putting it in as it is tight. Regarding the clay guide, I would suggest some blue lock-tight on the threads of the screws that attach the plastic ring on the top of the 4 rods. If you move the unit regularly, you can just lift the guide off the unit, keeping it assembled, but the screws tend to loosen up over time. Overall, I am very pleased and would highly recommend to anyone. Update: Have owned for a couple of months now and have put 2000+ clays through it with NO issues. Very pleased with product. Second Update: Have owned for about 1-1/2 years (no issues) and just added a Champion 40924 Wheely "Wobbler". Nice addition to the basic unit. Look up that on desertcart to see my review with pros and cons. Review: Great Thrower that met Every Need - Had a blast with this thing. The success of this piece of equipment fully depends on the user hooking up an effective battery. Give it some good juice and you can shoot clays for a while. No point is sharing the duration on a battery since it varies per user and battery choice. We had no issues with the thrower, and it throw clays great. We did notice if you give it a low battery it starts to act funky, rightfully so. Offered great father and son time and we were able to use it safely. It is a bit heavy which is a good thing, but if you are not using it solo, it is a breeze to setup. I would save my money and not buy a wagon or wheeled version. Can't wait to use it some more. ## Features - Compact, portable design - Throws targets up to 75 yards - 53 clay magazine - 2.5 second reset ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01LZAM6TR | | Best Sellers Rank | #50,779 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #264 in Hunting Targets & Accessories | | Brand Name | Champion | | Color | Multi | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (987) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00604544618877 | | Included Components | Trap thrower, Cover and Manual | | Item Type Name | Champion Workhorse Electronic Trap | | Item Weight | 30 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Vista Outdoor Sales LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | 40916 | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | 40916 | | Shape | Rectangular | | Size | One Size | | Sport Type | Clay Pigeon Shooting | | Team Name | champion workhorse | | UPC | 604544618877 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Contact manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Champion - **Color:** Multi - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Size:** One Size - **Sport:** Clay Pigeon Shooting ## Images ![Champion Workhorse Electronic Trap - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81EiLaaNwEL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does anyone know the difference between this and the wheeliebird model? I see the wheels, handle, but otherwise?** A: I believe the only difference is cycle time between throws. It's not enough to bother my family and I when we shoot. Still faster than hand throwing. **Q: Do you have to manually change settings to get different launch angles or does it change between throws?** A: I find it much easier to put a 2x4 shim under the front legs. Drill it for the stakes and it's easily removable or replaceable for different angles. Changing the rear leg pins is a pain. **Q: What kind of gun does everyone use for the shooting** A: Perhaps you are looking at this for a gift for someone? This launcher is for launching targets for shooting with a shotgun. It can serve as a recreation activity on it's own or as as a way to keep a bird hunter's skills up as hunting season approaches. The type of shotgun doesn't matter much though a short barreled "defensive" shotgun would not be the best because those are generally used for shorter range shooting. **Q: Does it come with a battery, or do you have to buy one separately?** A: This Electronic Trap does not come with a battery. If you go to the web site it will lead you to a 10ah battery that they recommend for this trap. Have gone through 270 clays goofing off in a day and had no failures do to low battery. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great time at the Trap field *by B***S on September 15, 2017* Received trap launcher yesterday.

The success of this piece of equipment fully depends on the user hooking up an effective battery. Give it some good juice and you can shoot clays for a while. No point is sharing the duration on a battery since it varies per user and battery choice. We had no issues with the thrower, and it throw clays great.

Can't wait to use it some more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ On the fence, go for it. *by G***G on July 7, 2025* Worked perfectly for backyard sessions. Highly recommend this and the company, it had a plastic piece broken during shipping, (obvious shipping damage) Called up the company and sent me a new part free no hassle. Nice to just call and speak with a person. Only critique I'd give is the bologna about needing a deep cycle battery, total false. I've seen guys run with a drill battery and we used a cheap smaller lawn tractor battery. Used it for two boxes of clays with no hiccups. Deep cycle? Maybe if you want to shoot many hundreds and have a wobbler, maybe you would need the expensive deep cycle. Champion should publish a real needs evaluation on this besides just saying you need the biggest and most expensive battery. Like saying a 30-06 is needed for adequate mouse hunting. Why did you pick this product vs others?: pick it up, put in the trunk or truck bed easily. Build quality: Seems stout and well made to me. ## Frequently Bought Together - Champion Workhorse Electronic Trap - Mighty Max Battery ML18-12 - 12V 18AH CB19-12 SLA AGM Rechargeable Deep Cycle Replacement Battery - Champion Range and Target Target WheelyBird/Workhorse Remote Wireless, 100-Yard Range, Easy Installation, Compatible with WheelyBird 2.0 & Workhorse, Clay Target Thrower Accessory --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/37790818-champion-workhorse-electronic-trap](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/37790818-champion-workhorse-electronic-trap) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
