Clay Pigeons

[Uncle Gizmo]

Just found out why they are called "Clay Pigeons"!

 

[kevlray]

?!? Because the masses objected to killing large quantities of real pigeons for target practice?

I haven't Googled but I always assumed it was because they were made from clay?

This has to be the randomest thread of the year so far

Probably because real pigeons won't cooperate for target practice by flying in a straight line.

Maybe they have to hope who ever is shooting at them is a bad shooter.
