clay targets
Launched shooting targets
Clay targets are disk-shaped objects made of pitch and chalk, designed to shatter when struck by shotgun pellets.
They serve as the standard projectiles in shooting sports like trap, skeet, and sporting clays, where they're launched into the air by mechanical throwers to simulate the flight of game birds.
Also called clay pigeons, though they bear no resemblance to actual birds beyond their role as aerial targets for hunters practicing their aim.
