A shooting target thrower for throwing a shooting target includes a throwing arm rotatable about a throwing axis to throw the shooting target. A throwing spring is operatively coupled to the throwing arm and rotates the throwing arm to throw the shooting target. An electric motor rotates the throwing arm to cock the throwing arm and throwing spring. The shooting target thrower includes a power connector that connects to a first power source or a second power source for powering the shooting target thrower. The first and second power sources are interchangeable with one another for powering the shooting target thrower.

A machine for launching targets, comprising a chassis on which a support is mounted. A barrel is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation, the barrel comprising a plurality of columns for storing stacked targets. The columns each have an axis parallel to the axis of rotation. The chassis comprises a surface for receiving targets for a launch, the support comprising a hole configured to allow the passage of a target from a column of the barrel to the receiving surface. The support comprises a first locking position with respect to the chassis and at least a second locking position with respect to the chassis, the first position and the second position having an angular offset along the axis of rotation.

The present invention relates to a device for throwing targets for shooting sports, with instant projection of the target. The device is characterized in that it comprises means for blocking the movement of the arm in abutment, enabling the arm, to go beyond the zero point, by the action of the driving means, while keeping the throwing means in tension, with these blocking means being carried by the driving means and engaging with complementary blocking means carried by the arm, and wherein the throwing arm comprises a rotating shaft, with said shaft carrying a pinion driven by a second drive pinion connected to the output pin of the driving means comprising a geared motor, with the means for blocking in abutment having a stop carried on the periphery of a crank pin rotating about the output pin of the geared motor. Applications in the field of shooting sports, both rifle shooting or revolver shooting and in archery.

An electronic shooting target throwing system includes throwers configured to launch shooting targets into the air. The throwers are communicatively connected to one another to form a mesh network. A first subgroup of one or more of the throwers is located within a communication range of a remote control (RC) and a second subgroup of one or more of the throwers is outside of the communication range. In response to a first thrower of the first subgroup receiving a command message communicated from the RC that identifies at least a second throwers that is in the second subgroup as an intended recipient of the command message, the first thrower is configured to communicate the command message to at least the second thrower, effectively extending the communication range of the RC.
