Abstract
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 shooting target thrower for throwing a shooting target, the shooting target thrower comprising:
- a frame;
- a throwing arm supported by the frame and rotatable about a throwing axis, the throwing arm rotatable from a cocked position, the throwing arm configured to throw the shooting target as the throwing arm rotates about the throwing axis from the cocked position;
- a throwing spring operatively coupled to the throwing arm, the throwing spring arranged to rotate the throwing arm about the throwing axis to throw the shooting target;
- an electric motor operatively coupled to the throwing arm, the electric motor configured to rotate the throwing arm about the throwing axis toward the cocked position;
- a power connector supported by the frame;
- a first power source having a first power source connector, the first power source connector being releasably connectable to the power connector to deliver electrical power for the electric motor;
- and
- a second power source having a second power source connector, the second power source connector being releasably connectable to the power connector to deliver electrical power for the electric motor;
- the first and second power sources being interchangeably connectable to the power connector for delivering electrical power for the electric motor.
