Method for powering trap machines on a sporting clays course

Abstract

A method for powering trap machines on a sporting clays includes driving a golf cart to a first station on the sporting clays course, connecting a trap machine at the first station to the golf cart with a power cord, running the trap machine at the first station with electricity drawn from a battery in the golf cart and transferred over the power cord, disconnecting the trap machine at the first station from the golf cart, riving the golf cart to a second station the sporting clays course, connecting a trap machine at the second station to the golf cart with a power cord; and running the trap machine at the second station with electricity drawn from a battery in the golf cart and transferred over the power cord.

1 . A method for powering trap machines on a sporting clays course comprising:
 driving a golf cart to a first station on the sporting clays course;   connecting a trap machine at the first station to the golf cart with a power cord;   running the trap machine at the first station with electricity drawn from a battery in the golf cart and transferred over the power cord;   disconnecting the trap machine at the first station from the golf cart;   driving the golf cart to a second station on the sporting clays course;   connecting a trap machine at the second station to the golf cart with a power cord; and   running the trap machine at the second station with electricity drawn from a battery in the golf cart and transferred over the power cord.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising connecting a data cable from the trap machine at the first station to the golf cart. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising receiving data at the golf cart from the trap machine over the data cable. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising displaying the received data on a dashboard in the golf cart. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising controlling the trap machine using the data cable. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the golf cart is one of an electric golf cart, a gas motor golf cart, and a hybrid golf cart. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the battery is at least one of an automotive battery, a golf cart battery, a marine battery; and a lithium-ion battery. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein connecting the trap machine at the first station to the golf cart further comprises plugging the power cord in to a power socket on the golf cart. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the power socket is an American 120V AC socket. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the power socket is a automotive 12V DC socket. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the power socket includes a power inverter. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the power socket includes a voltage transformer.
