Apparently, there are very few manufacturers in the shotgun world that manufacture a reliable, safe and affordable tower. And these towers are powered 100% by solar so there are no problems, you can put one anywhere. The problem has always been transport and the erection of the tower in a suitable place. Transporting a 25 foot plus tower a long distance is expensive and erecting it in a suitable location can be tricky.
For the sporting clay enthusiast, high “driven” targets are fun, aren’t they? Over the last 40-50 years or so I have seen lots of imaginative ways to provide high targets. Many ground owners make do with a “cherry picker” (that sometimes refuses to start on tournament day), or an old reclaimed radio tower that they modify with a lifting system that gives more trouble than it is worth. I have seen rickety old telephone poles with wooden platforms on them that sway dangerously in the wind. A scissor lift, although expensive may sound like a good idea…… but try moving one across wet ground on tournament day? And a 15 year old used one will cost you at least $10,000. So, unfortunately, the problems associated with providing high targets are numerous…..until now.
Now, for the first time, you can buy yourself a set of detailed plans that contain everything you need to make your own 25 foot tower. Our patented foundation system is simple, safe and very effective. Over the last twenty years or so we have erected these towers in numerous locations including three at the Dallas Gun Club in Lewisville, two at the Boone Pickens Mesa Vista Ranch in the Texas Panhandle and many, many other locations. After 20 years, these towers are still working flawlessly. And if you are lucky enough to own a course where there is some high ground, that 25 foot tower installed on the top of a hill now provides targets that become a lot higher.
For $350 you will get a complete set of duplicate plans, details of all the materials needed and the exact measurements of all the steelwork required. All the components, limit switches, hoist, carriage wheels etc. are listed and there are a set of detailed instructions and electrical diagrams explaining exactly how to build and erect the tower. All you will need is a competent welder on site for a few hours. Of course, we can always make the tower for you and transport it to your site but that would be a bit more expensive.
A set of comprehensive plans would mean that now you can buy all your materials locally. And that means that you can build your own safe, reliable and efficient tower……….anywhere in the World.
