ABSTRACT:
There is a machine for launching clay shooting targets. The machine comprises a target storage magazine, a delivery plate adjacent the base of said magazine and a user controllable delivery mechanism adapted to unload either one or a pair of said targets from the magazine onto the plane of the delivery plate. There is a throwing arm adapted upon release to move across the delivery plate from a cocked position behind the targets to a discharged position so that the targets are catapulted into the air from the delivery plate. The leading edge of the throwing arm is curved so as to be in contact with or sufficiently closely adjacent the targets when in the cocked position to avoid target breakage upon release and also provide close flight trajectories for said pair of targets.
