A launching head for launching two or more sports shooting targets, where each target is of a generally disc-shaped configuration, where the target is defined by a rotational axis and a central hub portion extending perpendicularly to the rotational axis, which hub portion comprises a radially inward facing surface formed for releasable attachment of the targets to the launching head , wherein: - the launching head is of a generally tubular comfiguration defined by a longitudinally extending rotational axis (z) and where the launching head is provided with an outer circumferential support surface portion formed to fit into and support said radially inward facing surface of the hub portion of the respective targets ; - the launching head is provided with a plurality of retaining claw members configured to be able to pivot in a plane containing the longitudinal axis (z) and pivot an angle (α) relative to a plane (x, y) extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis (z), - each of the retaining claw members is provided with two longitudinally spaced-apart retaining portions configured such that: - when the retaining claw member is in a first pivotal position (α = α 1 ), both of the retaining portions are in a radial position outside the support surface portion , in which position they attach the hub portion of the respective targets to the support surface of the launching head, and - when the retaining claw member is in a second pivotal position (α = α 2 ), the retaining portion closest to the pivot point (B) is at a radial position outside the support surface portion , in which position it attaches the corresponding target to the launching head whereas the other retaining portion is at a radial position inside the support surface portion , in which position it does not attach the corresponding target to the launching head, and - when the retaining claw member is in a third pivotal position (α = α 3 ), both of the retaining portions are in a radial position inside the support surface portion where they do not attach the respective target to the support surface of the launching head. - the launching head is of a generally tubular comfiguration defined by a longitudinally extending rotational axis (z) and where the launching head is provided with an outer circumferential support surface portion formed to fit into and support said radially inward facing surface of the hub portion of the respective targets ; - the launching head is provided with a plurality of retaining claw members configured to be able to pivot in a plane containing the longitudinal axis (z) and pivot an angle (α) relative to a plane (x, y) extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis (z), - each of the retaining claw members is provided with two longitudinally spaced-apart retaining portions configured such that: - when the retaining claw member is in a first pivotal position (α = α 1 ), both of the retaining portions are in a radial position outside the support surface portion , in which position they attach the hub portion of the respective targets to the support surface of the launching head, and - when the retaining claw member is in a second pivotal position (α = α 2 ), the retaining portion closest to the pivot point (B) is at a radial position outside the support surface portion , in which position it attaches the corresponding target to the launching head whereas the other retaining portion is at a radial position inside the support surface portion , in which position it does not attach the corresponding target to the launching head, and - when the retaining claw member is in a third pivotal position (α = α 3 ), both of the retaining portions are in a radial position inside the support surface portion where they do not attach the respective target to the support surface of the launching head. <EOS>
