ABSTRACT:
Markers for aerial targets, also known as clay pigeons, of the type which shatter when hit by one or more pellets. The marker may comprise a ring of resilient material having a wail adapted to engage outwardly the rim of a standard clay pigeon target; may take the form of a dished disk having an upwardly curving central portion which fits into the underside of a clay pigeon target and an upwardly directed wail which has an internal diameter substantially the same as the outer rim of such a target, or it may take the form of a simple annulus having inner and outer upwardly directed wails which engage the lower rim of the target and are maintained in position by frictional contact between the wails and the rim. The wall of the marker engaging outwardly the rim of a clay pigeon target may carry a series of incisions or be formed as a castellated ring. In an other embodiments, the marker may comprise a central disc-shaped core carrying a plurality of legs directed outwardly with feet adapted to engage the rim of a standard clay pigeon target by frictional and/or adhesive forces, or it may be a cap. The markers are constructed from a material with sufficient resilience to engage the rim of the target and which does not shatter such as metal, a synthetic resin polymer or a composition based thereon. A preferred synthetic resin is high impact polystyrene which may be painted or pigmented with a distinctive color.
