US12467724 - Biodegradable and edible disc target

A disc target for shooting sports is disclosed that is biodegradable and edible by wildlife. The disc target includes one or more natural ingredients that are readily available and typically inexpensive. The disclosed disc targets are biodegradable and can be consumed by local wildlife. Preferred embodiments of the disc targets are primarily made of alfalfa and/or other natural ingredients such as corn starch that can be used as a binding agent. The disc target can be utilized for shooting sports, such as trap or skeet shooting, as the disclosed disc targets are able to withstand the force of being launched in the air but also easily shatter when hit by only a few pellets from a shotgun.
