 Trap shooting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trap shooting is one of the two major forms of competitive shotgun shooting at clay targets (the other is Skeet shooting).
The layout of modern trap shooting is different from skeet shooting in that there is only one house that releases targets and the shooters only move through 5 different positions.
The main differences are a much more extreme target flight path than in standard Trap shooting, shooters are allowed two shots per pull, and shooters at stations 1 and 5 stand at the 18 yard mark while positions 2-4 stand at the 17 yard mark.
