64 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – MARCH 2014 Attention training shotgun shooters See why you’ve been missing If you’re finding it extremely difficult to master the correct lead on flying clay targets or game birds, we have the answer for you... The AA® TrAAcker™ is the first shotgun shell to feature a weighted wad that actually tracks with the shot string. This allows the shooter or an instructor to quickly determine where the shooter is missing – making it easy to adjust and nail flying targets shot after shot. The wad tracks a full, one ounce of shot down range for highly effective performance on clay targets and fast flying game. The AA® TrAAcker™ load is available in two highly visible colors: orange, for overcast conditions or dark backdrops, and black for clear skies or light backdrops.
