What is trap shooting?

Trap shooting is one of the three major disciplines of competitive clay pigeon shooting. The other disciplines are skeet shooting and sporting clays. Trap shooting is distinguished by the targets being launched from a single “house” or machine, generally away from the shooter, compared with skeet shooting where targets are launched from two “houses” crossing in front of the shooter. Sporting clays involve a more complex course, with many launch points.

How to shoot trap?

  • Five shooters (one per station). 
  •  Shot from the 16-yard line. 
  •  Trap oscillates a total of 54 degrees left to right (27 degrees each side of center), with target variation up to a 34-degree arc. 
  • The actual point of launch is unknown to the shooter. 
  • The shooter will engage five targets from each station before rotating to the next.  
  • A round of singles trap consists of 25 targets.
