What is trapshooting?

  • It is one of the three major disciplines of competitive clay pigeon shooting. 
  • The other two disciplines are skeet shooting and sporting clays. 
  • In trap shooting, the targets are launched from a single "house" or machine, generally away from the shooter.
  • In skeet shooting, targets are launched from two "houses" in somewhat "sideways" paths that intersect in front of the shooter.
  • Sporting clays include a more complex course, with many launch points.
