A target launcher having multiple throwing arms which are driven by an electronic control assembly to launch each throwing arm sequentially at a predetermined timed interval. The target launcher will accommodate a variety of different kinds of targets to provide the shooting enthusiast, in particular the archer, with an automatically controlled supply of moving targets. Each throwing arm is released from a lock position to impart a substantially vertical trajectory to one or more targets loaded therein. The timing of the release of each throwing arm is preset manually prior to actuation of the control assembly circuitry. Actuation of the control assembly selectively drives a solenoid associated with each throwing arm to effect the sequential release of each throwing arm in accordance with the timing selected. The control assembly is designed to drive only a single solenoid if the release of only a single throwing arm is desired or to be actuated to a multi-mode operational state to drive all of the solenoids and, hence, all of the throwing arms in sequence at the intervals selected. Dual audible signals of different frequencies are provided to signal first the actuation of the electronic control assembly and next the release of each throwing arm.
