Does anyone know who and where we could purchase those clays with the extra dust or pigment in the cap like those used in tournaments? Our eyesight is not what it used to be and we practice in the woods with a Do-All battery thrower.

thanks,

The malady must be spreading.....my SC competitors seem to see chips that I don't.

Go to the White Flyer website and find your nearest dealer.

Target is called 'Orange Crusher'.

They cost 3x.

Exploding targets and other such fun targets bring back such great memories of shooting pranks. Many years ago I had half a dozen clay targets made out of aluminum. They were painted to look just like normal targets. We would put one of them in the stack and wait until some poor fellow shot one. They would give off a ping, move to the side, flutter and fly on. We thought it was grand fun.

Many years before that, when skeet traps were cocked and loaded by hand, a dollar tip would get the trap boy to put a special clay target on the skeet arm which we had filled the bottom with lamp black, covered with black construction paper glued to the rim. You'd wait until shooting high eight and drop your bird onto the arm. When hit it would generate a cloud of black which covered everything under it. Those in on the gag would edge away before the target came out of the trap house. What a mess that made and the howls of laughter would go on and on. All in good fun but sure to cause the shooter to figure out a fair payback if he could ever figured out who set him up.

You can put powdered Chalk in a cardboard box. Dampen the clay and roll it in chalk. Add color if you want. Puffs nice when hit. Good for a few lot of trouble to do many.

thanks all. Ordered some from Gamaliel. we could also get stronger prescriptions but the dust is more fun.

Put colored construction chalk in the top of the target. Cut round thin cardboard disks to cover the top and use a hot glue gun to put them in place. Easy, cheap and huge fun. Get 2 or 3 guys together, some coffee, and make them while BSing or watching the tv.

good idea. hadn't thought of construction chalk.

We use these at fun shoots as bonus birds. Red, Blue and white(talc).
