  • Patent number: 5515835
    Abstract: A disk thrower is disclosed for simultaneously launching two clay targets. The thrower includes two target holders attached to an adjuster which is mounted to a handle for swinging the thrower. The target holders are adjustable along supports formed on the adjuster. A first one of the target holders is arcuately movable along an arc wherein the first target holder is movable relative to a second target holder while lying in a single plane. The second target holder is movable to different positions on the adjuster whereby the second target holder is adapted to lie in different predetermined planes relative to the adjuster and first target holder such that a target held by the second target holder will follow a predetermined convergent, divergent or parallel trajectory relative to a target held by the first target holder.
