Trapshooting 101
Trapshooting is a specific form of clay target
shooting. Trapshooting is a game of
movement, action and split-second timing. It
requires the accuracy and skill to repeatedly
aim, fire and break the 4 1/4 inch disc which
are hurled through the air at a speed of 42
mph, simulating the flight path of a bird
fleeing a hunter.
Trapshooting 101
• Singles trapshooting
• The shooter stands 16 yards away from the
center of the trap house and shoots at
random targets that fly at various angles in
front of the shooter
• Shooters are grouped into squads of five
shooters
• There are five positions that each shooter
shoots 5 single targets from, for a total of 25
shots or one round
