Abstract: A target throwing system for use in shooting sports includes a target throwing mechanism and a control system. The target throwing mechanism includes a pedestal, a thrower carriage atop the pedestal and a clay target thrower assembly atop the thrower carriage. The control system includes a remote fire control unit a control interface collocated with the target throwing mechanism. The thrower carriage provides a pitch assembly to adjust the pitch angle of the target thrower assembly and a roll assembly to adjust the roll angle target thrower assembly. Linear actuators effect the desired adjustments. The fire control unit receives manual user input, through a joystick, to independently select the pitch and roll angles of the thrower assembly and, through a push button switch, to initiate ejection of a shooting target from the thrower assembly. The fire control unit may be integrated with the control interface by wired or wireless connection.
