I got the idea for this from checking out those "Shatter Blaster" targets for airguns at Walmart. I used 1x8 wood and screwed it on both sides of 2x4's. I then screwed 2x4's in between the 1x8 with just enough room for the clay pigeons to drop in place. There are 9 rows that hold 18 clay pigeons. I used a hole saw and put a 2.5" hole in each slot.
To support the clay pigeons, I used wire and screws. The wire travels the length of the gallery, and wraps around a screw on each side of each slot. Then the wire is shaped like an S to hold the clay target in, yet let the pieces fall through when shot.
Very fun to shoot at. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 shots to break one completely out.
