ABSTRACT:
A clay target launcher designed to be operated by a single person during target practice includes a base with a rotatable launching arm mounted thereon, which accommodates a clay target, a trigger to latch the arm in a cocked position and movable to release the arm, and a foot pedal. A spring is mounted between the foot pedal and the throwing arm to apply rotational bias to the arm, and a trigger release actuator is attached between the foot pedal and the trigger. When the foot pedal is in its upper position, the spring is not tensioned, so there is no danger of accidentally releasing the target. When the user is ready to release a target, he depresses the pedal with his foot, thus tensioning the spring. When the pedal is fully depressed, the trigger release actuator is effective to move the trigger to allow the throwing arm to rotate and launch the target.
