What does your club prefer to shoot? I find the orange with black rimmed targets a little easier to spot vs the all orange clays which sometimes can seem like a bit of a blur vs crisp....or is it just me.
All orange clay targets vs. orange dome with black rims.

All orange except under the lights with a distant black background and then I go for the green.

My club uses both depending on the background. With foliage this time of year we had to swap styles on a few machines because all orange totally disappeared in the tree line.
We switched to orange dome for trap a couple years ago and are seeing better scores.
Our background changes from trees to open sky depending how fast you shoot, direction of target flight and what trap you're shooting on.
I would suggest to throw targets that results in better scores, which equals happy shooters who will shoot more.

Depends on the background, my home club uses an all orange target, but a couple of other local clubs with mostly sky backgrounds use a black rim or even a New York style target to give it some more definition when flying through the sky.

I like the all orange target, day or under the lights. Some clubs throw orange dome and some throw the green targets. Depends on the background, our (WIS) state shoot throws orange dome.

That's where the pink targets come in handy. It's easy to lose a orange target when the leaves are turning color.

Green targets seem to be better for people who are color blind, as they can not see orange. I hate the dam things. But I'm not color blind. New Yorks, 3/4, orange domes, all orange, all have thier place depending on the background. Pinks are great in marginal light. And of course whites for night time

Thanks for posting this. People often forget that there are different kinds and types of color blindness. I hope someday soon the optical industry will find a method to help people with their colors

My daughter is studying to be a doctor. She told me color blindness is due to the development of the rods and cones in the rear portion of the eyeball. Sorry to say that there isn't much that can be done to correct this condition.

I will use either and I do not see a difference when shooting them.
FWIW they probably should be a natural brown color to simulate an actual bird.

I wonder how many people here are old enough to remember when there used to be only two colors of targets ( yellow during the day and white at night)? If you can you're old ! 😁
