American Outdoor Brands has launched a mobile application named the Caldwell Clays App. This platform is designed to serve as a centralized wireless control system for its connected line of target launchers, including the ClayCopter Surface-to-Air launcher and the Claymore Connect traditional clay thrower.
The Caldwell Clays App enables users to operate and synchronize up to ten individual devices from a smartphone, customize flight parameters such as trajectory and velocity for airborne targets via a touch-screen interface, and create complex shooting sequences that mix traditional clay pigeons with biodegradable disc targets. The accompanying hardware is noted for its portability and battery-powered operation. At its core, the product offering aims to replicate the varied experience of a formal sporting clays course in a private or informal setting.
