6 automated American trap fields

American trap allows shooters to test their skills from five different positions. A 4¼-inch disc is thrown from a trap machine (or trap house) in front of the shooter. Each target presents a different perspective including shots angling to the left, right or moving straight ahead. A round of trap consists of 25 targets. Generally, trap is shot in quads of five shooters, but a round also can be shot with one, two, three or four shooters.

Starting at the first position, the shooter calls “pull” and shoots at one target from their position. Then position two calls for a target and so on. When all shooters have fired once from their respective stations, the process repeats four more times. After the last shooter fires their fifth shot, the squad rotates positions with each shooter moving one position to the right. The shooter on the far right – position 5 – circles back to the first position on the far left. This process repeats five times allowing each shooter to shoot five shots from each of the five positions for a total of 25 targets. The shooter successfully scores if they shatter the target or even just hit a small piece of it. If the target is hit it is called “dead” if it is missed it is called “lost.”

Learn more about trapshooting disciplines, including singles, doubles and handicap

Singles – Singles is the easiest of the three disciplines. In singles, the shooter stands 16-yards away from the center of the trap house and shoots at targets thrown at various angles in front of the shooter.

Doubles – Doubles is a modified version of singles but is more difficult because shooters are presented with two targets at the same time. One clay target flies to the left while the other flies to the right and the shooter must hit both targets before they hit the ground. Each target is scored individually.

Handicap – Handicap is considered the most prestigious event in trap shooting. As in other sports, handicapping strives to make the competition more equal by having the more skilled competitors stand farther away from the trap house. Based on past performance, shooters are assigned a handicap distance they must shoot. A competitor with a high handicap will shoot no closer than the 18-yard line, while the most skilled shooter is placed at the 27-yard line where it is more difficult to win an event.

Nine skeet fields.
Four of the skeet fields allow participants to shoot either skeet or American Trap, and five of the fields allow participants to shoot either skeet or International trap.

American skeet fields have eight shooting stations and two trap houses. Seven of the stations are arranged in a half moon between the two trap houses, and one station is directly between them. The high house, on the left side of the field, throws its targets from a trap 10 feet above the ground, and the low house target, on the right side, leaves the trap house just 3-1/2 feet from the ground.

A round of skeet consists of 25 targets and is shot in squads of up to five shooters. They move from station to station around the half moon, ending up in the center, at the end of the round. To launch the target, the participant calls “pull” and then tries to shoot the target. The shooter successfully scores if they shatter the target or even just hit a small piece of it. If the target is hit it is called “dead” if it is missed it is called “lost.”

The first miss is repeated immediately and is called an option. If no targets are missed during the round, the last or 25th target is shot at the last station, low house 8. The shooting sequence is as follows:

Stations 1 and 2: High house single; Low house single; High house/Low house pair
Stations 3, 4, and 5: High house single; Low house single
Stations 6 and 7: High house single; Low house single; Low house/High house pair
Station 8: High house single; Low house single

Five International (bunker) traps.
Each field offers superimposed international-style skeet and international trap; four of the fields have covered firing lines.

International Trap, also called bunker trap or Olympic trap, has been a part of the Olympic Games since 1900. Since this is an Olympic shotgun event, it is intended to be more difficult than American trap. The clay targets are flatter, more durable and thus harder to break. In addition, the targets are thrown faster, farther, and over much wider arcs and angles. They are thrown from an underground bunker containing 15 throwing machines.

Squads of six shooters fire in rotation in rounds of 25 targets. There are five stations on the firing line. Starting at the first position, the shooter calls “pull” and shoots at one target – two shots are allowed – from their position. Then, position two calls for a target and so on. After each shooter fires once from their station, they move to the next station to their right. The shooter on the far right – position 5 – circles back to position 6 on the far left. This process repeats thirty times until each of the shooters shoots five shots from each of the five positions. Each shooter is presented with the same set of targets during the round, but in random order so the target’s flight cannot be anticipated.

For competitive events, ammunition is restricted to a lighter load of lead pellets, which further increases difficulty. The 12-gauge ammunition used must not exceed 24.0 grams (+.05 tolerance) and pellets must not exceed 2.6mm diameter. The standard International target load commonly used for Trap is a 12-gauge, 2 ¾”, 3 ¼ drams equivalent of powder; 24 grams of #7 1/2 shot.

Nine skeet fields.
Four of the skeet fields allow participants to shoot either skeet or American trap, and five of the fields allow participants to shoot either skeet or international trap.

The international version of American skeet has been a part of the Olympics since 1968. International skeet closely mirrors the domestic event. It is shot on the same skeet fields; however, the targets are slightly larger, and they are thrown faster and farther. In addition, the process of shooting them differs slightly.

A Round of International Skeet

Squads of six shooters fire a fixed course of eight different shooting stations. A round of skeet consists of 25 targets, with 17 shot as singles and 8 as doubles. Only one shot is allowed at each target.

Shooters start with the shotgun’s butt stock held at hip level and then call for their targets. There is a random delay of up to three seconds from when the shooter calls for the target until it is thrown. Targets emerge from throwing machines housed at each side of the field, with the two houses referred to as the low house and high house.

The first miss is repeated immediately and is called an option. If no targets are missed during the round, the last or 25th target is shot at the last station, low house 8. The shooting sequence is as follows:

Stations 1, 2 and 3: High house single; High house/Low house pair
Station 4: High house single; Low house single; High house/Low house pair; Low house/High house pair
Station 7: Low house/High house pair
Station 8: High house single; Low house single

Automated 15-station sporting clays course

Sporting Clays is often compared to golf except it’s done with a shotgun. Shooters move from station to station where they encounter a variety of shooting situations that simulate the flight path of waterfowl, upland gamebirds and even rabbits. The shooter is presented with multiple targets at each station. The size of the targets can vary and may be thrown as singles or in pairs. In addition, the targets present a variety of trajectories, angles, speeds, elevations, and distances. A menu at each station indicates if the target is to be throw as a single target or a pair of targets. Pairs can be either “report pairs,” in which the second target is launched after the shooter fires at the first; or “true pairs” when both targets launch at the same time.

A round of sporting clays consists of 100 targets; however, shooters can shoot a half round or 50 targets. Sporting clays can be enjoyed by any size group and squad size can vary from one to four participants.

Trapper Services – The 5-stand sporting clays course is a self-guided course. No reservation is required. Shooters can request the services of a “trapper” to throw targets and score rounds for them. Those services are available for $20 an hour and reservations are required.

Five-stand sporting clays is like sporting clays but compresses the experience into five stands using eight strategically placed traps. A menu at each stand tells the shooter which trap will throw the target. The first target thrown from each stand is a single target and the next two are a pair of targets. Pairs can be either “report pairs,” in which the second target is launched after the shooter fires at the first; or “true pairs” when both targets launch at the same time. Shooters take turns shooting five targets thrown from various traps then move down to the next stand where they shoot five targets in a different formation.

Generally, 5-stand is shot in squads of one to five shooters. A round of 5-stand sporting clays consists of 25 targets, where each shooter fires at five targets from each of the five shooting positions. The first shot from each station is a single target. Starting at the first position, the shooter calls “pull” and shoots at one target from their position. Then, position two calls for a target and so on. When all shooters have fired once from their stand, the process repeats two more times with the next two targets being doubles (two-shots). After the last shooter fires their fifth shot, the squad rotates positions with each shooter moving one position to the right. The shooter on the far right – stand number 5 – circles back to the first position on the far left. This process repeats five times allowing each shooter to shoot five shots from each of the five-stands.
