I have at AT 50 that I have set with a wireless release so I can put it in the back of my pickup and go shoot alone whenever I want.
It is an extremely well designed and made product. It was designed to last with heavy parts compared to other makes I looked at. Cabalas is selling the AT250 which might fit your need.
Nice to see a US product made to last rather than made "Good enough for who its for".
It has functioned flawlessly through the first 1000 clays.
I have 2 Laporte's and one remote will work for two machines at the ssme time. Going on 6 years and it is still up and running. Plus it can change angles and heights in a few seconds with the battery operated height and angle switches.
Focus on the leading edge!

I know we see Promatics EVERYWHERE and many of the serious players in sporting are dealers for them, but it sure seems like I see a lot of "no birds" from them.
For example: I've been drooling over one of their smaller versions of the chandelle machines, but most of the ones I've shot over broke way too many clays.
Is that an adjustment/maintenance issue or a design flaw?

I own the Ranger Chondel Rabbit machine of which you speak.
It comes with two different arms; one for rabbits and one for standards. I really have no problems with mine. The Promatics are a very simply designed machine. The knives on the plate that separate the clays for dropping is probably where your problem lies. They are easily adjustable with a 10mm wrench. Could be mishandled boxes of targets as well. If a trapper drops them before he loads them....
I can put you in contact with anyone at Promatic for personal attention.
