About Trius Traps

Trius Traps was established in 1955 and operated as an independent clay target trap manufacturer for nearly 50 years.

The company built a solid reputation for reliability and quality in the shooting sports industry during its independent years.

In 2002-2008, Trius Traps was acquired by Lyman Products Corporation as part of their strategic expansion into the broader shooting sports arena.

For over 50 years, clay bird shooters, competitors, and casual shooters have made Trius traps their first choice for clay target practice and entertainment.

Today, the brand continues to introduce generations of shooters to the challenge and enjoyment of clay target shooting through solid construction, quality components, and ease of use.
