− | + | '''Trap shooting''' is one of the three major forms of competitive [[clay pigeon shooting]] ([[shotgun]] shooting at [[clay target]]). The others are [[Skeet shooting]] and [[sporting clays]]. There are many versions including [[Olympic Trap]], [[Double Trap]] (which is also an Olympic event), [[Down-The-Line]], and Nordic Trap. American Trap is most popular in the United States and Canada, primarily as sanctioned by the Amateur Trapshooting Association. | |
The sport is in some ways a replacement for a game where the targets were live pigeons. Indeed, one of the names for the clay targets used in shooting games is ''clay pigeons''. 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 sport is in some ways a replacement for a game where the targets were live pigeons.
