Put Your Shotgun Skills to the Test
Trap shooting is a specific form of clay target shooting and can be lots of fun for new and seasoned shotgun shooters alike.
According to the Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA), trapshooting is a game of movement, action and split-second timing.
It requires the accuracy and skill to repeatedly aim, fire and break the 4 1/4 inch discs which are hurled through the air at a speed of 42 mph, simulating the flight path of a bird fleeing a hunter.
