Acorn Target Systems is based in the most easterly point in Great Britain - Lowestoft in the beautiful county of Suffolk. Lowestoft with its award winning beaches, broadlands and port is strategically placed for the offshore wind industry which is also a pointer to its long history of being a centre of manufacturing. Combined with an enthusiasm for clay shooting and the ability to offer a bespoke service, Acorn has been producing its own innovative design of clay pigeon traps from its base in Lowestoft for over 30 years. Precision engineering is behind everything they produce with its highly qualified CEO Mike Bretton, having a particular passion for all things mechanical which has even gained him appearances as an expert on some popular TV programmes.

The automation of clay target shooting has come a very long way since the old days of manual traps and Mike's initial ideas of bringing an automated clay pigeon trap to market, helped to open up the sport to individuals and clubs alike. Acorn has always been a leader in new ideas and engineering expertise to attain the highest quality of machines with the very best targets. Acorn Target now spans the globe with customers both in the UK to Scandinavia, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada to name but a few.
