The VENTRILOQUIST - Voice Release is available for both trap and skeet. Both units use microprocessor based technology to recognize a voice and provide selectable target sequences (skeet) and delay options. The skeet version may also be used for trap. Two options are available, the Radio-Linked (skeet transmitter, trap transmitter, skeet receiver, trap receiver) version and the Wire-Linked (skeet wire-linked, trap wire-linked) version. The essential difference between the two versions is that the shooter's signal to the target machine(s) is transmitted via an FM signal in the "Radio-Linked" version versus a cable in the "Wire-Linked" version. Both units come standard with a lapel microphone and custom case. A throat microphone is available as an extra cost option.


Lapel Microphone is now standard issue with both Radio-Linked and Wire-Linked Ventriloquists.

"Wire-Linked"

This version of the VENTRILOQUIST uses all of the applicable technology from the "Radio-Linked" version. The unit is pictured below and consists of a compact controller, lapel microphone, 100 foot cable, custom belt, and custom carrying case. The controller is connected to your release cord outlet via the cable. The controller's microprocessor recognizes your "PULL" and releases the target(s). The programmed sequence of the SKEET version can be interrupted to repeat a target or clear a machine with no disruption of the American or International skeet sequence. The unit's controls and functions are illustrated below.
