Your usual clay bird is 4 and 3/8ths inches across.
I was working on a project a few years ago where I had some A36 plasma CAM'ed. The back piece was a half circle shape. The front piece was a half doughnut shape. There was a filler piece welded in the middle, so a clay bird fit perfectly between the front and back pieces.
Then I had some 1/4" thick AR500 CAM'ed into 4.375" diameter circles. I figured I would paint them orange, and then slide them in between those two halves. I reckoned if I ever got to practicing shotgun, I wouldn't have to replace the clay birds after every run.
That was about as far as I got. Life got in the way.
I was also fiddling around with torsion springs that would allow a 6X6 plate 3/8ths thick to fall backward when hit, and then stand back up. More time shooting, less time resetting.
Again, life got in the way.
I do like tooth and nail's target
