For any ground or club aiming to elevate efficiencies, revenues, and the shooting experience, Promatic’s Claymate is a game-changer. This cutting-edge contactless clay counting and release system allows shooters to use encoded Wi‑cards—no more fiddling with coins, tokens, or paper tally sheets. Just tap, select, fire, and Claymate handles the rest automatically. Grounds have reported up to 40% revenue growth thanks to tighter control and seamless usage tracking.

What is Claymate?

Claymate is a system that automates clay target control and payment. Shooters use a Wi‑card—preloaded with credit—tap it on a stand controller, select the desired discipline or number of targets, and shoot. The system:

• Eliminates manual clay tracking and cash handling  

• Enables contactless payments  

• Integrates seamlessly across trap types: Sporting, FITASC, Compact, Skeet, DTL, ABT, and Multitrap.

• Records every shot, making accounting and reporting effortless.

By digitising clay usage, Claymate streamlines operations for club staff and enhances shooters’ experiences—no more queuing for coins or juggling tokens.

How Claymate Supports Grounds & Shooters

Implementing Claymate brings benefits on both sides:

For Ground Owners/Managers

• Boosts revenue via smarter clay control and reduced misuse. Some clubs saw up to 40% increases.

• Accurate usage data helps improve budgeting and procurement planning—no estimating clay counts or cash lost in the tray.

• Minimal maintenance: the system is wholly digital, with zero coin jamming or TAM issues.

For Shooters

• Quick, smooth experience: tap the card, set target options, and go—no coins or tokens.

• Cleaner, quicker routines: reduced wait times give shooters more time on stand.

• Unified system: one card across disciplines, so skeet and Sporting sessions run under the same account.

Meet the Claymate Controllers

SP4 / SP8 Radio (Claymate 3)

The enhanced controllers—SP4 (4-button) and SP8 (8-button)—feature a robust membrane keypad and long-range radio for full range control. They’re designed for all Claymate-compatible disciplines—Sporting, FITASC, Compact, Skeet, DTL, ABT, and Multitrap. Shooters tap their Wi‑card, select the desired target combination, and start shooting. The long-life batteries and waterproof casing ensure reliability in any weather.

Core Claymate System

At the heart of Claymate is Promatic’s reliable and secure card‑reader engine. It supports all operational modes, tying in with trap machines to release the clay on command. The system handles data logging, usage billing, and offers remote management tools for ground administrators.

Why Claymate Outperforms Traditional Systems

Here’s a comparison to highlight why Claymate is such a leap forward:

Simple Setup, Powerful Impact

Installing Claymate involves:

1. Fitting controllers at each stand or trap line.

2. Issuing Wi‑cards and loading credit via a cash till or online system.

3. Syncing traps with the Claymate network—Sporting, Skeet, Multitrap, you name it.

4. Going live, with real-time data access for management and automated credit-control for shooters.

Within minutes, grounds go live without plumbing in coin boxes or tokens, offering a modern experience from day one.

Future-Proof & Customisable

Claymate is built for growth. New features are firmware-based and can be deployed remotely. Grounds can upgrade effortlessly—for instance, adding Multitrap settings where previously only Sporting was available.

It also integrates with Promatic’s wider range—clay traps, communications systems, spares and support—creating a fully comprehensive clay shooting ecosystem all managed via a single Promatic login.

Is Claymate Right for You?

If you’re a ground manager or club operator asking:

• “Can we cut coin/tray refills?”

• “How can we charge more accurately for clays fired?”

• “Is there a smoother user experience for shooters?”

The answer is a resounding yes. Claymate lowers costs, ups revenue, and delivers a slick modern shoot experience.
