The trap shooting is divided into the disciplines trap, skeet and double trap. There are essentially between the trap and skeet the following differences:
Trap or Trapshooting is an Olympic event since 1900. It is shot in each series of 25 targets with shotgun shells on white, yellow, orange or black clays. The
stands of which is shot lying next to each other at a distance of 3
meters and are located on a line at a distance of 15 meters. Parallel
behind the top edge of a bunker, where 15 traps are mounted in groups of
3 The
line passing through the axis of this central Trapmaschine and through
the center of the underlying firing point, together with the hopper edge
a right angle (90 °). Of each of the 5 groups of machines are 2 left and 2 right and 1 straight or almost straight thrown clay. The
setting of 15 traps is at hand from a total of 9 throw schemes, whereby
per contest over 125 Targets either 2 or 3 of them to the machine
setting drawn before. If
are on large Trapschießständen 5 bunkers available, then 5 can of
course also be drawn from the nine schemes under which the machines are
then set for the competition. During
the training days preceding the competition (officially max. 2) are
removed, the schemas used in this case before selecting the competition
schemes.The coming to shoot the shooter series solves by calling electroacoustically from the dropping of a dove. Then he waits for the right-wing shooter of him "his pigeon" retrieved and fired, only to embark on this next level itself. After each shooter has fired at 25 targets (5 per each level 1 to 5), this series is finished. The clays reach the ejection speeds of up to 70 km / hThe participants complete their competition in so-called Rotten, each consisting of six shooters. Teams in team competitions consist of three shooters.
When
sporting trap, the disks are accessed by the shooter orally, is shot
(as opposed to hunting stop) in the estimates, which means that the
shaft of the weapon is already in demand on the shoulder of the shooter
and the cheek on the so-called comb. Here we have the cheek to make a good contact with the shotgun firmly pressed onto the shaft back. Compared
to the hunting Trapshooting so is the Olympic Trapshooting the distance
of the shooter to the discharge means is greater (+5 m in Austria, in
Germany and 4 m., The discs fly over it further out and therefore also
faster. As a hit is scored when the referee can be seen after the shot, that a "visible piece" triggers detached from the disc.Are used almost exclusively today to lead shot pellets with a maximum diameter of 2.5 mm. The use of steel shot has not been enforced for safety reasons (dangerous rebound through the hard material). Studies
have shown that the elemental lead (almost always outdoors) does not
dissolve in the bottom of the shooting, but encapsulates so that is not
an environmental hazard (on the instantaneous state of knowledge) to the
extent as initially feared.The term comes from the English trap = trap trap. So that you originally referred to the cages, from which were previously released live pigeons to shoot.
When hunting trap shooters shoot a total of 15 clay targets. The clay targets are required by so-called great profusion. The
difference is the removal of the bunker edge and that is employed by
the Jagdtrap the rifle stock on the pelvic bone and the run is at about
eye level. The
throw towards the discs, with the exception of the machine (turbulence
machines that describe a continuous movement of a figure eight, so that
angle and height of the clay target for the shooter is random) as the
Sporttrap by out-resolved schemes, which will be drawn and adjusted
before competition .When
hunting trap, the shooter stands 11 meters from the throwing machine
and it will be shot three disciplines (JFA, JFU, JFO) as well as for
sporting trap. That is automatic, 5 machines, 15 machines.To shoot in competitions called Rotten, each consisting of six shooters. Generally, guns in the calibers 12, 16, and 20 used, whereby not only block but also cross-guns are used.
The competition in the maximum shot charge is 24 grams per shot with a maximum shot size of 2.5 mm. Are used almost exclusively today to lead shot pellets.The best guns are for shotguns with single trigger. As
a hit is scored when the referee can see after the shot and during the
flight of the disc, that a visible piece of the disc dissolves.Several years ago, was trying to shoot without retrieval of the Dove (disc) Jagdtrap. That meant: In Quiet standing of the clay pigeon gun within three seconds had to be thrown. This species has not prevailed.
