Abstract

A computer controlled target shooting system having a plurality of clay bird throwers which can be positioned at substantial distances and angles of throw from one another, preferably to throw clay birds in a safe direction for shooter(s) to engage. The throwers include a device for mechanical activation (electrical, air, hydraulic, etc.) and allow for varying horizontal and vertical angle of clay bird projection (flight). The plurality of clay bird throwers are interfaced to a microprocessor. The shooter can specify levels of difficulty which will set levels of time delays and difficulty of randomness between clay birds thrown. These shooter specified levels include two clay birds thrown at the same time (doubles) and extended time delay to allow for reloading of double barrel shotgun (double barrel). The microprocessor keeps track of shooter location within the system, throws clay birds for the shooter dependent on shooter location within the system and shooter parameters specified before entering the system. This system simulates an actual bird hunt (pheasant, quail, etc.) by providing randomness and unpredictability through microprocessor control.
