Overview
EZPULL is a wireless, fully automatic voice
activated target release controller for Sporting Clays. EZPULL wirelessly controls the target throwers.
You do not need to press switches, just call “pull” to activate each step in the shooting sequence.
EZPULL detects your gunshots so it knows when a step in the shooting sequence has been completed and automatically moves to the next step. Detecting the first gunshot of a Report Pair automatically releases the second target. By counting the number of shots and comparing it to the number of targets for the station, EZPULL determines when the entire shooting sequence has been completed.
