Simulated Game Shooting

Selecting the right simulated game trap is essential for replicating the authentic experience of traditional game bird hunting with clay targets. The following guide provides an overview of simulated game shooting, explores the different types of traps available, and highlights key considerations for choosing equipment that offers realistic, challenging, and enjoyable shooting experiences.


Simulated game shooting replicates the experience of traditional game bird hunting using clay targets. It offers the thrill of shooting in a variety of scenarios that mimic real-life game drives, such as driven pheasant or grouse. This discipline provides a challenging and enjoyable alternative to live shooting, suitable for both training and recreation and has become an increasingly popular discipline to shoot during ‘out of season’ months.
Simulated game traps are designed to replicate the unpredictable flight patterns of different game birds. These include traps for simulating high driven pheasant, fast and low traps for grouse, and rapid crossing traps for challenging partridge shots. Each type of trap adds variety to the shooting experience, closely mimicking the dynamics of field sports.
Choosing the right simulated game trap depends on the type of game being simulated and the terrain of the shooting ground. Versatility is key, as the trap should be able to replicate various bird flight paths and speeds. Durability, ease of setup, and the ability to adjust throwing angles are also important factors to consider.
A high-quality simulated game trap offers reliable, consistent performance and the ability to accurately replicate the flight patterns of various game birds. It should be robust and easy to operate, with adjustable settings for speed, angle, and distance. Durability and low maintenance ensure the trap can handle the demands of frequent use in diverse environments.
There’s nothing more tantalising to a game shooter than shooting high, challenging driven pheasant over a steep valley on a crisp winter’s morning, and there is no better way to hone your skills on ‘pheasants’ that practising with the Peregrine simulated Game range. With continued practice throughout the year will ensure even more memorable game days. You could set your own simulated game day, invite your friends for a pre game season day to warm up the guns ready for the pheasants.
The Peregrine simulated game range is equally at home simulating partridge, ready for the season or your trip to Spain for instance. There is no better way to sharpen up before you fire your first shot knowing that you will keep your Cargador (loader) happy with your performance and Secretario (Spotter/Dog man) busy picking up your birds. You will have endless enjoyment with the Peregrine range as each carousel, depending on the model, is capable of holding between 200-400 clays allowing you to practice on the Peregrine’s rather special covey presentations.
Grouse is the fastest game bird in England and Scotland providing superb sport. Our ‘grouse’ leave our traps in excess of 70mph. Your adrenalin will be pumping as covey after covey of ‘grouse’ head towards you, just like being on the moors. Each trap on the Peregrine Game Trailer can offer a specifically built-in exhilarating flurry sequence or if you wish you can create your own.
Whether you are shooting doves in Argentina, francolin in Africa, pintail ducks and wild turkeys in the USA, Promatic simulated game traps will ensure you will be ready for the first flush of birds. Despite the large variety of game birds available worldwide, the Promatic Simulated Game range can simulate the majority of breeds due to the varying speeds and flushes that you can choose using the Huntsman Game Trailer radio.
