Trap In A Box

Trap in a Box — a complete clay pigeon trap set-up that actually works in the real world

Trap in a Box has been developed for one simple reason:

Most clay pigeon traps are easy to buy…
but much harder to set up properly.

You end up working out protection, power, security and control yourself — and that’s where time gets lost and setups fall short.

Trap in a Box removes that problem completely.

A complete system, not just a trap

This is not a trap with a few extras added on.

Trap in a Box is a fully integrated clay pigeon trap system, built around our top-range Navigator-controlled AutoClay 320 and housed in a purpose-built enclosure.

Everything has been considered:

• The trap itself
• How it’s powered
• How it’s protected
• How it’s secured
• How it’s actually used day to day

It arrives as a system that works together — not a list of parts.

Built around the AutoClay 320

At the centre of it is the AutoClay 320, our flagship clay pigeon trap platform.

It’s designed for proper use — delivering consistent targets, reliable operation and the kind of performance you expect when the trap is going to be used regularly, not occasionally.

This is the same core machine used across many of our larger systems, which tells you everything about how it performs.

Navigator control — full command of your targets

Paired with the trap is our Navigator radio system.

This gives you proper control over how your targets are presented, whether you’re running a simple stand or something more varied.

It’s not just about pressing a button — it’s about being able to run the trap in a way that suits your ground and the type of shooting you want to create.

The Trap Life Box — what makes this different

The biggest difference with Trap in a Box is the housing.

The Trap Life Box turns the trap from a piece of equipment into a proper installation.

It:

• Protects the trap and components from the weather
• Keeps everything contained and tidy
• Reduces the need for constant setup and pack-down
• Allows the trap to stay in position long-term

This is what makes it practical.

It’s there, it’s ready, and it stays that way.

Solar-supported power — built for real locations

Power is one of the biggest headaches with fixed trap positions.

That’s why this system includes a solar panel to support the power setup.

It helps maintain the battery and reduces the need to constantly remove and recharge it, making the whole system far more usable in real-world locations where mains power isn’t available.

Secure and sensible

Leaving equipment out on a ground always raises the same concern — security.

The Trap Life Box includes a lockable lid, giving you a level of protection that most trap setups simply don’t have.

It keeps everything secure, protected and out of sight when not in use, while still being quick to access when you need it.

Designed to stay put — and be used properly

Trap in a Box is designed for permanent or semi-permanent positions.

It’s ideal when you want a trap that:

• Doesn’t need setting up every time
• Can stay in place between sessions
• Is ready whenever you want to use it
• Looks like a proper part of your ground

For shooting grounds, clubs and estates, this makes a real difference.

It turns a trap into a usable, reliable feature — not just something that comes out occasionally.

A straightforward way to build your ground

For many customers, this is one of the easiest ways to add a new stand or expand an existing layout.

You’re not starting from scratch.

You’re starting with something that’s already been designed to work.

Trap in a Box — Complete Clay Pigeon Trap System

What exactly is Trap in a Box?

Trap in a Box is a complete clay pigeon trap set-up.

It includes our AutoClay 320 trap, Navigator control system, Trap Life Box enclosure and solar-supported power — all designed to work together as a single, ready-to-install system.

Do I need to buy anything else to get started?

No — everything needed for a working set-up is included.

You will need clays and your usual shooting equipment, but the trap, control, housing and power support are all part of the package.

Is it difficult to install?

No.

It is designed to be straightforward to position and set up on your ground. Once in place, it can stay there ready for use.

If needed, we can talk through the best way to position it depending on your layout.

Can it be moved once installed?

Yes — it is a fixed or semi-permanent set-up, but it can be repositioned if required.

Most customers choose a location and leave it in place for regular use.

How does the solar panel work?

The solar panel helps maintain the battery charge over time.

It reduces the need to remove and recharge the battery manually, making the system much more practical for permanent or remote locations.

Will it run completely on solar power?

The solar panel supports the system rather than replacing charging entirely.

Usage levels, weather and positioning will affect how much charging is maintained, but it significantly reduces day-to-day battery management.

Is the system secure?

Yes.

The Trap Life Box includes a lockable lid, helping to protect the equipment when not in use.

This makes it far more suitable for leaving in position on a shooting ground or estate.

Is it weatherproof?

It is designed for outdoor use.

The Trap Life Box protects the trap and components from the weather, helping the system stay in place and ready to use throughout the year.

What type of customer is this best suited for?

Trap in a Box is ideal for:

• Shooting grounds adding a permanent stand
• Clubs wanting a reliable trap position
• Estates building out layouts
• Private users wanting a proper long-term set-up

Is the trap powerful enough for regular use?

Yes.

The AutoClay 320 is our flagship platform and is designed for consistent, regular use with strong, reliable target delivery.

What control system does it use?

It uses our Navigator radio system, giving you precise control over target release and operation.

Can I expand or add more traps later?

Yes.

Many customers start with a single installation and build out their ground over time with additional traps or systems.

Is it made in the UK?

Yes.

All Acorn equipment is designed and manufactured by us here in the UK.

What guarantee does it come with?
