Caldwell® Claymore Connect™ Delivers A New Way to Clay™

The Only Clay Thrower with Built-In Bluetooth Connection & App
Folding Legs + Light Weight + Li-Ion Battery = Ultimate Portability

COLUMBIA, Mo., Jan. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- American Outdoor Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: AOUT), an innovation company that provides product solutions for outdoor enthusiasts, today unveiled the Claymore Connect™, the most advanced launcher in the Claymore® family of traditional clay launchers. The company will demonstrate the Claymore Connect™ and all of its new Caldwell® products at SHOT Show 2026, in Las Vegas, January 20-23, at Booth #11860.

Introducing the Claymore Connect™ Target Launcher (MSRP $549.99)
The Claymore Connect™, a smart target launcher that throws traditional clays, is designed to bring advanced digital control to ground-based shotgun target shooting.  Built on Caldwell's proven Claymore® heritage, the Claymore Connect™ throws standard clay targets while pairing wirelessly with the Caldwell Clays™ App, allowing recreational shotgun target shooters to remotely operate the launcher, and create custom pairs, patterns, and dynamic target presentations without corded power or wired remotes. The Claymore Connect™ weighs just 35 lbs. (including battery), with folding legs for easy transport and storage.

For decades, electric trap throwers have been a one-trick pony: Heavy automotive car batteries, tangled cords for remotes, and big, bulky machines that are hard to transport and store.  The Claymore Connect™ changes everything.  It comes with a 12-volt Li-ion battery pack that is small enough to fit comfortably in a pocket, but powerful enough to launch over 350 targets on a single charge.  Best of all, the Claymore Connect™ is Bluetooth enabled, allowing it to pair with the Caldwell Clays™ App, which is available for iOS and Android, and free to download.  The Caldwell Clays™ App gives shotgun target shooters centralized, wireless, remote control over their customized target shooting experience, allowing them to simultaneously control up to 10 different Caldwell smart launchers from up to 100 yards away – including the Claymore Connect™ and the new ClayCopter Surface-to-Air™. Use advanced features including Hands-Free Voice Control, preset target pairs, customizable flurries, and more.  The Caldwell Clays™ App allows shotgun target shooters to create tournament grade challenges and create a custom sporting clays course virtually anywhere.
