Disc launching device

A method for launching a disc, using a disc launching device, the method comprising:

• holding a grip end of a handle of the disc launching device;
• loading the disc into a disc holder coupled with an attachment end of the handle at an opposite end of an elongate shaft of the handle, wherein the disc holder comprises:
• a front rail for holding an edge of the disc;
• a back rail for holding the edge of the disc across from the front rail;
• a front opening having an opening diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the disc;
• and
• a back opening, wherein the disc is loaded into the back opening;
• and
• a top support member attached to and extending between the front rail and the back rail, wherein the attachment end of the handle is attached to the top support member at an oblique angle relative to the front opening;
• rotating the attachment end of the handle about an axle that connects the attachment end to the disc holder, to move the handle relative to the disc holder from a loading configuration, in which a longitudinal axis of the handle is angled relative to a plane of the disc holder, to a throwing configuration, in which the longitudinal axis of the handle is parallel to the plane of the disc holder;
• and
• swinging the handle of the disc launching device with sufficient forward momentum to cause the disc to launch out of the front opening in the disc holder.
