Trapshooting Disciplines
Singles
In singles, 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 him/ her. Shooters are grouped into squads, usually made up of up to five people. There are five positions that each shooter shoots from, for a total of five shots, or one round. This gives participants a different view of the target flying through the air. Each position is a constant 16 yards from the trap house and each position is spaced three feet apart forming a small arc.
Doubles
This is a modified version of Singles, but it is more difficult because shooters must break two targets fired at the trap house simultaneously. One clay pigeon flies to the left while the other flies to the right. The target path remains constant, but the challenge is if the shooter can hit both targets before they hit the ground. Each target is scored individually, not as a pair. There are no partners in doubles.
Handicap
Wobble
This is a modified version of Singles, but it is more difficult because the trap machine osculate up and down as well as side to side.
Wobble Doubles
This is a modified version of Wobble, but it is more difficult because each competitor attempts two targets thrown in succession. Six targets for the first three stations and seven for the forth and final station with the final target being a single.
