Trap shooting is a clay target shooting sport where participants use shotguns to break clay pigeons launched into the air from a single machine known as a trap. Shooters stand at various stations arranged in a semi-circle, and the trap oscillates to release targets at different angles and elevations. Participants aim to break as many clay pigeons as possible. Trap shooting tests a shooter's ability to quickly react to unpredictable target trajectories, making it a challenging and competitive shotgun sport.
