Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2471321A] A launching device 2 for a clay target includes a throwing arm 32 supported to be rotatable continuously about an axis, and means to load a clay target substantially at said axis. The throwing arm 32 includes an escapement mechanism operable between a first position in which a clay target is prevented from being launched from the throwing arm 32 and a second position in which a clay target is permitted to be launched from the throwing arm 32. Loading means may be provided including resilient loading receptacle located substantially at the axis to provide cushioning to a clay target as it is loaded. Further, the throwing arm 32 may include a base portion for bearing a clay target and a top cover spaced from the base portion and adapted to disrupt the airflow over the clay target.
