ABSTRACT:
A skeet throwing device includes a frame mounting a pair of rotary wheels spaced apart a distance less than the diameter of a skeet member which is delivered to the wheels by a carriage movable toward and away from the wheels; either manually or by an extensible fluid pressure cylinder. In a powered arrangement, a skeet support adjacent the carriage supports a vertical stack of skeet members, and a skeet pusher on the carriage is disposed to engage the bottommost skeet member of the stack and move it forwardly from under the stack. A skeet guide on the skeet support guides the bottommost skeet member forwardly and laterally from the skeet support onto the carriage for delivery to the rotary wheels. An auxiliary skeet stack support on the skeet pusher supports the stack above the bottommost skeet member temporarily while the skeet pusher moves forwardly to deliver the bottommost skeet member to the rotary wheels and while the pusher retracts to deposit the stack back onto the stack support, preparatory to delivering the next succeeding bottommost skeet member to the rotary wheels. A skeet hold down tongue projects forwardly of the skeet pusher for overlying a skeet member being pushed toward the rotary wheels, to stabilize the skeet member as it is engaged by the rotary wheels.
