ABSTRACT:
A launching apparatus comprising an "H"-shaped frame, having right and left frame sections, with swing arms pivotally mounted at forward ends of the frame section. Each swing arm has a forward portion which interconnects with a cable and pulley system, and a rear portion which connects to an elastic tension member extending from the rear portion of the swing arm to a rear location on the "H" frame. A middle draw portion of the cable extends between front pulleys on the forward ends of the swing arms, and when the middle portion of the cable is pulled rearwardly, the swing arms rotate so that the front pulleys move inwardly and rearwardly, and then further rearwardly and outwardly. At the same time, the elastic tension members become stretched.
