A machine for launching targets including a base on which there is arranged an assembly having a launching mechanism and a drum for storing targets, assembly being configured so as to be able to move relative to the base, the machine including a tilting device that allows the assembly to move relative to the base, the tilting device having on one hand a first portion connected to the base and having one from among a curved rail and an element for guiding of the rail in a single degree of freedom of tilting along the rail, and on the other hand a second portion connected to the assembly and having the other from among the rail and the guiding element, wherein it comprises a pivot connection about a rotation axis A2 between the second portion and the rest of the assembly.

An archery target launching device is described. Embodiments of the archery target launching device can include a frame and a launch assembly. The frame can allow for the target launching device to be implemented in a vertical orientation and a horizontal orientation. In the horizontal orientation, the frame can rotate approximately 110 degrees to provide a variety of launch angles. In the vertical orientation, a plurality of legs of the frame can be implemented to alter a launch angle.

A slide plate target-drop hole changing structure used in an auto target throwing trap is disclosed to include a slide plate slidably coupled to an upper cover plate of the auto target throwing trap and provided with a first target-drop hole for large-size targets to drop down from a target-drop opening of the upper cover plate through the first target drop hole, and a filling piece detachably connected to the slide plate. When the filling piece is connected to the slide plate, a second target-drop hole is formed between a concave arc gap of the filling piece and the first target-drop hole of the slide plate for the passing of small-sized targets.
