The Evolution Claymate was created after its smaller brother product, the Junior Multitrap Claymate.

Replacing completely the early DTMF Multitrap Systems (Still supported by the way), The Evolution (and Junior variant) sport, at last, a Liquid Crystal Display, without which the original DTMF unit required almost superhuman powers of concentration to program.

The rubber booted handset is much tougher than the original model. (It isn't indestructible though. Military toughness implies military price tags, but is is nonetheless, tough)

The LCD shows the current Audit and displays the detected traps on power up as well as the current software version and serial number.

The simple menu driven operation is intuitive and self explanatory.

Sporting mode permits singles, double, even triples to be launched as the buttons are pressed.

"FITASC" mode allows up to all 8 targets to be pre or deselected and subsequently released with the 'Fire' button.

5-Stand has 6 NSSF sequences built in with space for six more of your own. From 1 to 5 shooters can play and the targets can be previewed at any time without disturbing the displayed sequence of targets. A remote Fire and No Bird handset (similar to the 3 button handset used for Skeet & Sporting Controllers) can be fitted (Some even use the Radio Claymate for this) and a stand mountable set of shooter controls is coming soon permitting a group of shooters to button for themselves from the shooting cages.

Compact Sporting uses the same programmed sequences as for 5-Stand but these are shot with up to 6 shooters (and 5 stands) with a different set of rules, (Left most populated stand shoots first etc)

Flurry mode has 6 sequences built in designed by Pete Munn of "Clay Snooker" with space for another 6 sequences of your own. This mode is ideal for simulated game too. Unlike its single function competition, the Claymate Flurry engine permits release delays from 1 to 15 seconds with from 1 to 8 traps being released at each 'event'. An eye for detail and a wicked mind can create flurries designed to confuse the unwary shot and thus force cooperation and method in order to achieve high scores.

Any flurry sequence can be repeated up to 8 times (so the 100 bird, 4 man flurry becomes an 800 bird marathon). Additional attention to detail during the software design permits no birds to be registered at any time during the flurry which are then sent at the end of the flurry sequence using the same target sequences so, if this is an important Simulated Game competition with an expensive prize for the winning team, each team will receive the SAME No Bird Targets as the other in order to provide the maximum amount of fair play for both teams so no-one can claim that any replacement targets were harder for one team than for the other.

Flurries can be sent as a Press the 'Go' button and walk away affair or they can be launched event by event just in case you have a group of muzzle loading black powder shooters trying their luck.

Programming flurries and Multi-Stand sequences is a simple and largely intuitive business.

Mode Lock is a term used to describe the ability of the Evolution to be locked into or out of a mode you may not want the shooters to have access to. For instance, on a range set up for a Flush or Flurry, you can defeat 5-Stand, Compact Sporting, Sporting and "FITASC" for instance. A 5-Stand layout can be locked out of Sporting, "FITASC" and Flurry modes.

The Sporting Multitrap Handset can be used as a non LCD version of the handset. This handset and the associated Non LCD equipped Controller are all designed to be interchangeable to allow upgrading, or downgrading at any time.
