THE GAME OF TRAP

The Toronto International Trap & Skeet Club has 9 traps making it ideal for large tournaments.

A round of trap consists of 25 shots fired at clay targets thrown from a concealed machine (trap) 16 yards in front of the shooters. Normally five shooters compete at one time, each positioned on one of five stations located on a semi-circular walkway behind a small trap house. As each shooter calls, in turn, for a target, the clay target is thrown out from the house at varying angles. Each shooter fires 5 shots from each position, until 25 shots (5 from each station) have been fired. The moving target, flying away from the shooters at unknown angles makes this an exciting and challenging sport.

THE GAME OF SKEET

The event is in part meant to simulate the action of bird hunting. The shooter shoots from 7 positions on a semi-circle, and an 8th position halfway between stations 1 and 7.

There are two houses that hold devices known as "traps" that launch the targets, one at each corner of the semi-circle. The traps launch the targets to a point 15 feet above ground and 18 feet outside of station 8.

One trap launches targets from 10 feet above the ground ("high" house) and the other launches it from 3 feet above ground ("low" house). At stations 1 and 2 the shooter shoots at single targets launched from the high house and then the low house, then shoots a double where the two targets are launched simultaneously.

At stations 3 through 5 the shooter shoots at single targets launched from the high house and then the low house.

At stations 6 and 7 the shooter shoots at single targets launched from the high house and then the low house, then shoots a double.

At station 8 the shooter shoots one high target and one low target. The shooter must reshoot his first missed target, or if no targets are missed, must shoot his 25th shell at the low house station 8.

This 25th shot was once referred to as the shooter's option as he was able to take it where he preferred. Now, to speed up rounds in competition, the shooter must shoot the low 8 twice for a perfect score.

THE GAME OF INTERNATIONAL/OLYMPIC TRAP

A trap art for the truly skilled, this classic game has all the elements missing from its American counterpart. Lower profiles are couples with farther flights and wider angles (45 degrees each side of centre) making these clays significantly harder to break.

At 60 feet long by 8 feet wide and almost 7 feet high, this army style trench is dug into the ground so that the top is ground level giving it its nick name Bunker.

Each of the 5 shooting stations gets 15 traps broken up into groups of threes. Traps are set in the morning and then verified by a qualified panel usually consisting of shooters and organizers. Different height and distance adds difficulty to the game as traps leave at different speeds.

6 shooters rotate through the five stations and move after each try, always allowing the next shooter to fire before reloading. The fifth shooter will take his place out of line where the sixth started. This continues until each shooter has had his try at all 25 targets. Each shooter is allowed 2 shots (of which both count) at each target. The plot thickens. A computer controls all three machines a centre, a left, and a right ensuring that all shooters get the same number of targets from each direction.
