Clay Pigeons
Modern clay pigeons are made from a mixture of lime and pitch. There is an assortment of targets that vary in diameter and thickness, although all are circular. The targets are given names such as mini clays, midi clays, battue, rabbits. These varying targets are used for Sporting Clays. Clay pigeons may vary in colour but black is still the most used colour. The colour thrown varies to suit the background against the target the shooter is shooting at.
