ABSTRACT:
A launcher for target pigeons of the kind having propellor type wings and which includes a drive unit having a rotating shaft to which a target pigeon is releasably connected. The target pigeon is releasably secured by a retainer head mounted on the rotating shaft and which is actuated by a control rod that is remotely actuated. The drive unit is mounted on a pivot to swivel during a launching operation. In one form, the drive unit is operatively associated with a vane which allows the launcher to oscillate when in operation to launch a target. In another embodiment, the oscillation of the launcher is effected by an eccentric mechanical drive which is connected to the drive unit.
