About Pat-Trap, Inc.
Stuart Patenaude has always enjoyed shooting sports and shot his first registered targets in 1985. His daughter Amy enjoyed shooting too. Together they bought a new trap to replace their old handset. The new trap only threw singles.
There was a lot of talk about the need for an automatic trap that could do it all. The big name companies in the industry had nothing to show.
Patenaude went to work; he needed a doubles trap for his own range. He studied his new auto-trap. He realized it wasn’t possible to modify this trap, he had to start from scratch.
The first Pat-Trap was constructed with miscellaneous items he had on hand, including parts from an old AMC Pacer. His new trap worked and it worked well.
Beginning with the very first Pat-Trap every effort has been made to produce the very best machines. Pat-Traps are proudly built in Henniker, NH. USA by trapshooters for trapshooters.
