ABSTRACT:
The present clay target is inverted cup-shaped with a central dome and depending annular rim. The central portion of the dome may be horizontal and preferably bears a plurality of plant seeds and plant fertilizer pellets embedded therein to improve the environment. The target is of clay containing up to about 2 weight % of biodegradable binder which is sodium silicate with or without dextrin. The target is a greenware body which is dried to a low water content of less than about 2 weight % but is unfired. It is thin enough to be frangible and fragments into small pieces when hit by a shotgun pellet. For this purpose, a preferred embodiment includes spaced radiating grooves in the upper and lower surfaces of the dome, preferably offset from one another, and a number of moon-shaped depressions in the inner surface of the rim. The outer surface of the dome may also include spaced concentric grooves in the dome which intersect the radiating grooves and further facilitate target fragmenting when hit by a shotgun pellet.
