WHAT DOES TRAPSHOOTING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

trapshooting

Trap shooting

Trapshooting is one of the three major disciplines of competitive clay pigeon shooting. The other disciplines are skeet shooting and sporting clays. They are distinguished roughly as follows: ▪ 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 includes a more complex course, with many launch points. There are variations within each group. Trapshooting is practiced the world over. Trapshooting variants include but are not limited to international varieties Olympic trap, also known as "International Trap"; Double trap, Down-The-Line, also known as "DTL" and Nordic Trap. American Trap is the predominant version in the United States and Canada. American Trap has two independent governing bodies. The Amateur Trapshooting Association sanctions events throughout the United States and Canada, as well as the Pacific International Trapshooting Association which sanctions events on the West Coast of North America.
