Be sure to bring 25 shells, plus a few extras. A hunting vest or a nail apron will work in a pinch. Consistency rules in trap. Your routine before the shot, as well as where you hold the gun and where you look for the target, need to be the same every time at a given station. For example, most shooters will hold on or above the left corner of the trap house when they stand at station. Close your gun and mount it on the hold point.
Then get your eyes up off the gun and look into the distance above the trap house. Think a positive thought, and call for the bird. The whole sequence takes about three seconds. Never try to guess where the bird is going. Instead, see the bird first, read its angle, and then move the gun to it. Surprisingly, that makes the target seem to move slower—not faster—than if you try to aim down the barrel and chase the blur of the target out of the trap house.
Shoot just before or as the target peaks. Trust your eyes and hands—and shoot. With its shallow, going-away angles, trap resembles jump-shooting more than it does any other kind of waterfowling. If you stalk ducks in sloughs, this is the game for you. Trap also teaches fundamentals, including one a lot of waterfowlers have trouble with: keeping your head on the gun.
Heavy duck and goose loads generate a lot of recoil, and many hunters develop a subconscious lift of the head to get up off the stock and away from recoil. Trap shooting punishes head-lifting mercilessly, causing misses over the top. Skeet was invented as hunting practice by two grouse hunters in the s. There are two trap houses, a high and a low house, and eight stations on a skeet field.
The first seven stations are aligned in a semicircle from the high house to the low house, and the last station is in the center of the skeet field, midway between stations 1 and 7. Skeet targets fly at the same height and angle every time, passing over a crossing stake set 21 yards from the stations.
In a round of skeet, shooters get 25 shots apiece. Stations 1, 2, 6, and 7 feature a pair of single shots—one from each house—followed by a double. The other four stations offer only a single target from each house. Shooters get an immediate repeat shot called an option at the first target missed. Skeet is a more sociable game than trap, and conversation between shots is usually fine.
Cormorant , Sep 24, Sep 24, 5. Often you will see the use of 25 to 30 thousands for the first barrel and 32 to 40 thousands for the second. Guns are regulated to shoot dead on or, at most 2 to 3 inches high. Considerable effort is expended to insure a perfect fit as the relatively high 76 mph exit speed of the target allows no time for conscious compensation of a poor fit as it so often can occur in the slower 40 mph exit speed target games of American trap and skeet.
Double Trap is a relatively new Trap form, Olympic since from it has Olympic status only for men , where two targets are thrown simultaneously but at slightly different angles from the station three bank of machines. The target speed is about 50 mph, very close to that of ATA doubles. Native NV Ducker , Sep 24, Sep 25, 6.
JohnBZ , Sep 25, Sep 25, 7. Trap targets need to fly yards at a specified height of feet. Good call NV Ducker on the Olympic trap. Kim Rhode has to get a new sport, but at least she won the first and last gold medals in the event. I step up to 1 oz at 27 if it's windy. Traphouses must adequately protect the trap loaders and shall not be higher than necessary for that purpose. A target should be set so that when thrown from the straightaway position it reaches a height of between 9 to 10 feet when measured at a distance of 30 feet from the center point of the trap house.
The target should then fly and then land at a distance between 49 yards to 50 yards — but no further than 51 yards. Distance measurements should be on level ground during still air. If using a radar speed gun to set targets, a speed of 42mph at a target height of 9 feet to 10 feet measured 30 feet out from the trap house center should reach the desired distance. Target throwing angles shall be adjusted that within the normal distribution of angles as throne by the trap machine, the right angle shall not be less than 17 degrees measured to the right of center, and not less than 17 degrees measured to the left of center, with a total angle between outside target limits on not less than 34 degrees.
See the Target Area example for more details. Please see the third diagram on the right for the official field layout as published by the National Skeet Shooting Association. The target-crossing point shall be measured from the level of Station 8. The target, in still air, must carry to a distance equivalent, on level ground, to 60 yards from the skeet house when passing through the center of the hoop, with an allowance tolerance of plus or minus two yards.
Alcohol and tobacco use Clay target team events should be held to the same requirements as other high school events.
