A device, method and system for identification of a person participating in a range shooting activity, a token comprising at least an identification of a required shooting pattern and a communication means for communicating the required shooting pattern to a communication unit, and a device, system and method for image capture and analysis of a shooting session.

A wheel-driven flying disc launcher for conventionally sized and weighted flying discs to achieve optimal velocity, lift and angular momentum for sustained flight. Flying discs having a diameter in the range of 15 cm to 28 cm and a weight in the range of 60 gm to 120 gm engage a spinning drive wheel having a diameter in the range of 10 to 25 cm for discharge through an annulus chute having a width substantially equal to the diameter of the flying disc to be launched and extending through an angle θ around the center of the drive wheel in the range of 45 to 80 degrees.

A crowd control projectile includes a payload carrier, an incapacitating agent inside the payload carrier, and an activating mechanism for activating the incapacitating agent. The activating mechanism includes a sensor and a timer. The timer delays the activation until a predetermined delay after the sensor senses that the projectile has been launched. Alternatively, the activating mechanism includes a receiver for receiving an activation signal after the projectile has been launched. Preferably, the projectile has the shape of a clay pigeon. A launcher of such a projectile includes a communication mechanism for transmitting a timing signal or an activation signal to the projectile and an arm for launching the projectile by direct contact. To control a crowd, the projectile is launched over the crowd by direct contact with a solid arm and the activating mechanism is used to activate the incapacitating agent when the projectile is above the crowd.

A flying disc launcher includes a frame body including a loading seat and a side wall. The loading seat includes a carrying portion and a receiving portion. A flying disc inlet and a flying disc outlet are respectively defined in both ends of the carrying portion. The side wall includes a guiding wall opposed to the receiving portion. A turntable is installed in the receiving portion and protrudes from an upper surface of the carrying portion. The power component is connected with the turntable to drive the turntable to rotate. When the turntable rotates and a flying disc is placed on the carrying portion from the flying disc inlet, the guiding wall and the turntable can contact the flying disc to drive and guide the flying disc to fly out toward the flying disc outlet.

This disclosure relates to a relatively compact smart ball launching system and associated methods for using the same. In various embodiments, the disclosed ball launching system may comprise a collapsible ball hopper that can store a larger number of balls while maintaining a relatively compact size. In certain embodiments, brushless motors may be used to improve power efficiency while allowing for accurate launch speeds and/or spins. In some embodiments, a pre-launch chamber may be included in a ball dispensing mechanism that may facilitate on-demand shots and/or power savings by shutting the ball launching system down when the ball hopper is empty. In further embodiments, the ball launching system may be controlled, at least in part, via a mobile device. In some implementations, the ball launching system may include and/or otherwise interface with a camera system to facilitate improved calibration and/or record user actions.

A micro switch adjustment structure for throwing trap includes an adjustment rod that has a connection hole located on one end thereof and coupled to a fastener that fastened a micro switch to an arched through hole on the front bottom side of the throwing trap body and an outer thread located on an opposite end thereof and inserted through a through hole on a rear bracket plate of the throwing trap body, and an adjustment knob having a screw hole threaded onto the outer thread of the adjustment rod such that the adjustment knob is rotatable clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the adjustment rod axially in adjusting the angular position of the micro switch.

A power free step auto reset clay thrower consisting of a base, a stepping rod, a support, a throwing arm holder, a throwing arm and an elastic member is disclosed. When the stepping rod is depressed, the throwing arm is forced by a first spring to move a link and a first linking member in turning the throwing arm forward for causing generation of a centrifugal force to throw a clay away from the throwing arm. When the throwing arm is thrown forward, the eccentric pivot joint stretches the elastic member. When the pedal is stopped, the elastic member restores the pedal, and the throwing arm is also returned to its original position where the rear side of the sidewall of the throwing arm is stopped by the top side of the trigger arm. Since there is no need to additionally install a motor for driving the throwing arm to restore the position, the invention has the advantages of saving power and environmental protection and can save motor assembly and component costs.
