If you are not counting your targets, you are literally throwing money away. |
You can recover the cost of installing Claymate within 6 months, or sooner. Many UK and US ground owners already know the value of Claymate and they cannot conceive operating a trap without a Claymate in control. Consider this very simple set of calculations. Replace the figures with some of your own and see just how cost effective Claymate can be and why you should really be counting targets. Prices are in UK pennies and pounds but you get the idea. |
How many targets do you BUY every year? Lets assume 500,000. That's half a million. |
| How much profit do you try to make per target? Lets assume 13 pence. |
| How much SHOULD you make assuming no breakages. 500,000 times 13p = £ 65,000.00 That's 65 grand. |
| How much do you think you actually lose? Assuming 20% of your targets never pass the till means you lose £ 13,000.00 a year, every year, forever. |
| Our sample ground in the UK bought £ 7,000 worth of Claymate Controllers. |
| Target losses were subsequently discovered to be nearer 35% than 20% but anyway, you can see that the £ 7,000 investment is recovered in less than 6 months, especially as the ground was loosing more than £ 13,000.00 per year. |
Our grounds income went up by at least the value of the Claymate installation within year 1 and year 2 income is UP substantially. |
| Are you now happy losing say 2% from broken targets and mishandling? Really? At £ 1,300.00 a year? |
What about slowing down your exuberant quad bikers whilst they transport boxes of targets at high speed? That air gap between the boxes as they are thrown around costs you money. A target broken before it sees daylight costs you the revenue you should have gained from it. With Claymate, you will get to hear about traps breaking targets before the arm gets bent and the battery cooks. With less abuse, and the right maintenance, the traps last longer! This makes sense right? |
| All Clay Counting Claymate Systems keep a running total of targets thrown from that controller. |
| This allows you to determine which of your stations are selling targets and which are not. |
| What does it matter if a station is so easy that a blind person can hit the targets with a paperclip and a rubber band if it is popular with the customers? Toughen up the station for competition by all means, but for day to day shooting, if the station is selling targets well, that's the whole point, right? |
Likewise, that station in the far corner that sells a very few targets may simply be too hard; the wasps nest in the trees may be a factor, or the sun, or the 3 inches of mud on the ground, or the dead cat smell might put people off. Claymate provides you with as much information as possible so you can provide a range of targets that, on average, satisfies the abilities (and ego) of all your customers. |
| You will lose some customers BUT seeing as these guys never paid for their targets anyway, they will find another ground to sponge from. |
| If by chance YOU are the closest shooting ground to that one that has just installed Claymate, get ready to be very busy. Don't expect to earn a lot of money though. |
