What power source does the Caldwell ClayCopter Surface-to-Air Target Thrower use, and is it suitable for Australian mains power?

The CALD-CCSTA is powered by an included 12V Lithium-Ion battery pack rather than heavy lead-acid batteries. When purchasing from XHunter in Australia, ensure the included wall charger is rated for 240V/50Hz and equipped with a standard Australian plug to comply with local electrical standards.

How do the flight mechanics of the ClayCopter differ from traditional clay targets?

Unlike traditional fragile clays, this unit launches proprietary propeller-style, biodegradable ClayCopter targets at speeds up to 15,000 RPM. Their rotating blade design creates erratic, unpredictable flight paths that closely mimic live game birds like pigeons and woodcock for realistic training.

Can I operate the Caldwell ClayCopter remotely for solo shooting practice?

Yes, the freestanding unit is designed for hands-free operation and features Bluetooth integration via the Caldwell Clays App, allowing you to use voice control or launch targets from up to 100 yards away. It also includes a secondary wireless remote with a 50-foot range for convenient solo training sessions.

Clay Target Thrower - Caldwell CALD-CCSTA

The Caldwell ClayCopter Surface-to-Air™ Launcher (SKU: CALD-CCSTA) is a ground-based electronic target thrower designed to modernise target shooting for Australian outdoor enthusiasts. Moving away from traditional, heavy spring-arm throwers, this portable unit weighs under 4.5 kg (approx. 10 lbs) and utilizes a high-powered 15,000 RPM electric motor to spin proprietary, biodegradable propeller-style targets. Unlike traditional fragile clay discs, these spinning targets generate unpredictable, erratic flight paths—including dipping, diving, and drifting—that closely replicate the flight of live game birds such as pigeons and woodcock. Equipped with independent wobble and oscillation functions, the unit continuously varies target height and angle to challenge your shooting reflexes.

Key Features:

Innovative ClayCopter Dynamics: Spins and launches proprietary 90mm and 110mm biodegradable propeller-style targets for realistic bird-flight simulation.
App-Enabled Solo Practice: Connects via Bluetooth to the Caldwell Clays™ mobile app up to 100 yards away, allowing solo shooters to trigger launches using hands-free voice commands, configure flurries, or link up to 10 throwers.
Built-In UV Target Charger: Features integrated UV lights that automatically charge compatible ClayCopter "UFO" glow-in-the-dark targets for low-light or night-time shooting sessions.
Dual-Axis Randomisation: Features adjustable vertical wobble and horizontal oscillating movements to randomise target presentation.
Australian Market Compliant: Supplied with a 12V Lithium-Ion battery pack and a 240V / 50Hz wall charger fitted with an AS/NZS 3112 (Type I) Australian plug. The unit carries the Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) to ensure conformity with ACMA electrical safety (SAA) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards.
Secondary Remote: Includes a physical wireless remote control with a 50 ft (approx. 15 m) range for quick manual operation.
