How Clay Targets Are Made | How It’s Made 

Holy crap. What explosion happened in that factory! Everything is orange. It's in the fan, on the machines way before the sprayer. What happened here!?

Underrated comment

Donald trump once did a factory tour...that stuff does not come off 🤣

Humans are the machines that made these machines. Go watch porn, if you wanna know how they where made.

But ... where would that _end_? You'd need to know about the machine that made the machine that made the machine that made the machine that made the...

Germany, essentially

Most of these machines are one off models machined by humans and assembled. This is why they are typically quite expensive.

@@unlokia humans make simple tools, tools are used to make more advanced tools, thise advanced tools make large machines, and those large machines make stuff like this.

Nor are pigeons made of clay 😀 PS: I hope your name is Ian... then I could call you _"Kardash Ian"_ 😁

I was hoping he would say that

Nor is babyoil made of babies.

It’s more exciting using real pigeons lol

Robert Aus I tried that but they kept jamming the throwers.

millions of pigeons were saved by the making of this product!

Hi, Scott!

All the cool people are named Scott.

baby gzuz EEWWWW!!!🤢

I hope they wear a mask.

Okay but how it’s made how: it’s made: how it’s actually made

It would be like recording a tv that is streaming your phone

Yeah

I imagine it to be like a guy in a room tells his friend “how do you think a computer is made”

i've suggested that one for years.

Smithereens, but yes.

Seems mostly automated. Didn't look like that much actual work.

They could be wet or there are some really bad shots. We had that problem at our club found out that rainwater got into our storage shed and a bunch of boxes got wet

Or you missed

That's cause your a bad shot lol

Must be diamond fused. Don’t even break when they land. It’s crazy

So- no one noticed the solid steel ones, then..

Or cared about the inviroment

@@chrismechanic2000 Is that you, Greta?

jimW133 woah there smart guy

Neeeeerrrrrrd!!! (in Homer Simpson's voice)

Clay Pigeons is not a pidgeon. Clay pigeon is a talk and petroleum based inverted disc, not actually a pigeon.

Move out of your parents basement!

That usually isn’t an issue as long as crap doesn’t clog the machinery or affect a persons breathing. My dad prints bank statements which produces a similar problem. There is usually toner and fine paper shaving everywhere. Not a place where someone with lung conditions or immunosuppressed patients want to be though.

@@ethanfairweather8736 hope you're dad wears a good mask .

@@MrTNBassmaster They do clean the production floor at least once a week, but that is relative, obviously. As for my dad, the production floor is usually the least of his concerns. He's the owner, so all the pressures that come with running and owning a big ass business are the source of his woes.

Its not a food factory so if it aint broke dont fix it and shut down production.

Ethan Fairweather Build up of fine paper particulate poses a major fire hazard & isn’t great for your health either.

I'm glad you quit smoking.

what do u mean

@@redbean9410 oh boy you're missing so much of youtube's actual science side.

@@tio5012 i dont understand

I want to see how how it's made is made.

this search huggbees on youtube.

*YES .... NOT TO BELIEVE "WHAT PIGS THE HUMANS ARE" ..*

They break down

@@nickkerr5714 They don't

Exactly my thought. You’re spraying petroleum all over when these things shatter but the two grams of paint are biodegradable? Congratulations lol

Crude oil is literally biodegraded plant and animal matter...

Vince Black it’s called a lawn mower lol

You mean a screen plant? I own one. Its ridiculous

Clickbait before clickbait was even a thing!

only some aren't there are some that are basically fired clay bricks. notice this is a french factory and it may be different else where. the ones made in Georgia are like this.

I was thinking the same thing.

You two morons do know hydrocarbons are a natural substance found in nature. Just like diamonds are a hydrocarbon. It is biodegradable just like millions of other petroleum bi-products.

@@oilfieldsatdiver8425 I feel much better about the ounce and an 1/8 of nature based lead I spread each time I miss a "blue rock". I also had a feral hog problem until those fuckers ate the hydrocarbon cookies that got away. Some "natural substances found in nature" (love that line) include things that biodegrade at rates/ units called half-lives. I think it was named half life because so many middle aged radio-activists committed suicide, maybe because of the boils, lesions, and other physical deformations and resulting depression. Next on how its made, morons.

You do realize that petroleum is a natural product right??? It come out of the earth as "crude oil" so little pieces of it laying around from a clay pigeon is not harmful to the environment at all. Please think through things before commenting.

After they sit outside for several months of the sun they get brittle into kind of crumble into dust

Either that or all those cheesy puns have finally caught up to him :P

@NinjaRider777R this is their page tho

It sounds like he (narrator) is congested

@NinjaRider777R which plays on science channel

The video is slowed down by like .2x speed so he sounds slower and deeper to avoid copyright probably

It's the Science Channel. Their programs have plenty of factual errors.

I was going to make this very point, but you beat me to it.

Yes, calcium carbonate & talc are two different minerals 👍

Nobody cares

...about @@markasstwain's opinion.

I know right? 🤦‍♂️

They are also biodegradable believe it or not. Our school has a trap team and going out on the range you can find old targets in various stages of breaking down.

It's basically made of asphalt. Yeah it doesn't really biodegrade, but it also doesn't really cause any real harm to environment.

But.. petroleum is natural... Its only when you burn it it becomes bad. Or deposit it in large quantities (oil spills)

@@lowryder3209 our oceans full of petroleum based plastics will argue against that.

Can’t see how they would fly with no pigeons in the mix.

"Gets" made of "tar" :-)

You need to change gun shops 🤣

You start with an ordinary grumbo and a whole lot of schleem.

Did you watch the video about plumbus x in RU-vid. Comment below it is just hilarious. There is an unboxing video too I think.

That was the paint

Yup. Talc is a silicate, CaCO3 is limestone. Good catch

Do you remember the BP oil spill and the deveststion it had on the gulf coast? Oil can take a long time to break down by bacteria. And by that time it will have run off into streams and waterways.

It's almost the same stuff that we use for asphalt, it's not going anywhere.

@@znk753 What's wrong bud?

@Silent Tacos Petroleum is not biodegradable, which means it will be there for a really long time

@@znk753 I think that this specific fraction of petroleum has a bit lower average molecular mass than the fraction that goes into asphalt. I don't really know, I'm just judging by appearance.

Either is correct. If you're measuring the width within a clay target (edge to edge), it "contains" a width of four inches.

👍

But don't worry! The paint is biodegradable!

Patrolium products are cheap. That’s the reason.

🤔🙄🙄🙄

@@thermophile2106 And considering that at skeet and trap ranges, they will launch tens of thousands of these each year, the pieces accumulate and leach contaminants into the water table.

That's because it is actually in the background ;) To many videos have the music way to loud while talking.

and talc is carcinogenic

@@aguven it's not talc, it's the asbestos that may be found in the talc

@@balorth That is true :) nevertheless, not a wise idea to use in such purposes

@@SwishSwoshSwhoop I am talking about the physical contact when they are transported or loaded to throwing device. Not while they are getting shattered.

@@aguven you do realize that asbestos is a naturally occurring substance and that no mater how hard you try you will be and have already been exposed to it.

That sounds expensive.

Maybe we should start using empty beer bottles as flying targets instead of these petroleum things.

@@twestgard2 If you develop a thrower for the bottles you may become wealthy! The glass could be recovered when they recover the shot from the ranges

@@37yearsofanythingisenough39 The thrower is Daryl and he sports a mullet.

They also used live pigeons…..hence the name clay pigeons.

Nah it's okay but thanks n

Playing it at .50 is much better haha

Synchron damn this dude went matrix on me

Would have been better with the word gun.

That's because you have an awful... Sales Pitch.

That's because before clay pigeons, they used living meat pigeons

Actually, I think the name is because they'd shoot pigeons for practice. These aren't pigeons, but it's what they're made of.

They weren't free to be their true selves so they ran away to live in the Forrest 🤣

May i correct you ? Its a mineral and not a chemical 😀

And the report called this--the only Olympic event to kill animals--quote, "very aristocratic."

Wait until you hear about how much energy is used and pollution is created by private jets and/or cruise liners.

I don't know about the paint but the clay does break down over time.

We make fire alarms, and I wonder the same thing. I know there are laws that say they must be replaced after a fire and every 10 years, but the scale on what we produce these is huge.

Trap shooting is very popular and every time you shoot, you launch one of these. I can easily go through a box in like 15 minutes of shooting, taking in account the time to reload. Plus these things are single use. They definitely have high demand.

K1ish I shoot a ton of sporting clays and skeet, and you are 100% correct. We burn through so many targets so fast.

A box of 100 is $8 and 2 people shooting go through them in about 20 minutes

This is why I love this show. So many things that aren’t everyday use, therefore I wouldn’t really think of them but they have such massive and complex production processes. Have fun with your shooting guys 😊

Last time I checked every thing came from the ground. Why is it toxic? It's a natural product

The smallest amount of oil can contaminate thousands of gallons of water

@@tylergordon696 Except that it comes from a couple thousands of feet underneath the surface. Radioactive materials also come from the ground and they aren't good for you, lava too for that matter. Just because it is natural doesn't mean that it is not bad.

@@yourdrummer2034 it's is not oil. It is petroleum based. Different

It's basically the same as asphalt.

Why not use seagulls?

It is a compression molding process. The upper piston applies the pressure to the paste/clay down in the mold. Just like a cake getting its form by the mold.

Matthias Kritter u don’t get the joke

@@b-dawginfinity7910 Okay, I see. I took it serious.

someone explain the joke

I heard that they fly better...

Are you being sarcastic? That makes absolutely perfect sense.

@@TheHuesSciTech It makes perfect sense that the targets would be soft and pliable while still hot. I don't understand the 'even though' part

@@MrAustinpen Oh wow, I didn't notice that! Mb.

It’s the “even though” like of course they are still pliable while hot. I think it may have been the case that they were pointing out the obvious and the wrong words were used leading to confusion

They degrade over time. Takes about a year, but they crumble to dust.

Use a VPN and get round all geo-fencing.

Blatherskite lol my mom hates the show because it sounds like the guy is napping

Unfortunately, there might be no substance that can be a better alternative than petroleum.

@@circle4602 highly doubtful!

haha yeah counterintuitive you would think

@@brookekathryn1980 What's your suggestion for an alternate material?

@@grhinson I'll consult the wife as she is a chemist! I'll let you know shortly!
