Clays are not included.
Environmental & Range Safety
Shooting real drones ruptures their lithium-ion batteries, contaminating the range. The Dangler keeps the drone out of the line of fire, so there are no sacrificial $1,000 drones and no ruptured batteries to clean up — just a durable, self-healing target and replaceable clays.
