How do you shoot a round of Trap?

A trap field has five positions, each starting at the 16 yard line and going back to 30 yards and more. Usually, a shooter is using the 16 yard line. Each shooter calls for a target and fires in succession from left to right, starting with the squad leader (usually the shooter who starts in the first left most position). This is repeated five times. After the last shooter has fired their final shot, every shooter shifts to the right one position, with the shooter at position five (right most) moving to position 1  (left most). This is repeated until everyone has fired five times in every position for a total of 25 shots. It is scored by counting the hits. In order for it to count as a hit, at least a visible piece of the clay pigeon must have broken off. 

This style of trap is often referred to as 16 yard singles trap and is the most common shot on our regular Wednesday trap shoots. There are several variations that are popular among shooters. Other kinds of trap we can and do shoot include: 

• 16 yard doubles 
• Handicap Singles
• Handicap Doubles
• 16 yard Wobble Singles 
• 16 yard Wobble Doubles 
• Handicap Wobble Singles 
• Handicap Wobble Doubles

Typically, trap shooters use shotguns of any gauge and shot shells loaded with 1 oz or 1 1/8 oz number 7 1/2 shot or number 8 shot

How do you shoot a round of 5 Stand?

5 stand is similar to both sporting clays and trap, almost as if they were combined. A 5 stand field has five stations (or stands), each that are aligned in a row are partially enclosed by a cage that limits the angles of shooting at targets, and anywhere from 6 to 18 traps that can be adjusted and moved. At each station, a shooter is presented 5 targets, a single followed by two pairs. Each shooter calls for a target and fires in succession from left to right, starting with the squad leader (usually the shooter who starts in the first left most position). This is repeated 3 times, and will result in all five targets being presented. After the last shooter has fired their final shot, every shooter shifts to the right one position, with the shooter at position five (right most) moving to position 1  (left most). This is repeated until everyone has fired five times in every position for a total of 25 shots. It is scored by counting the hits. In order for it to count as a hit, at least a visible piece of the clay target must have broken off. 

Each station presents a set pattern of targets (which may change from week to week) and which traps are throwing will be noted on a "menu card". Each of the 5 stations will have a different menu card. The first target at each station is always  a single target, and you can shot at this target twice if you choose. Note that if you shoot at the single targets twice, you will need that many additional shot shells to the standard 25. The pairs of targets may be presented as  "report pairs" or "true pairs". True pairs will be noted on the menu card. A "report pair" is a pair of targets where the second target is only presented after the first target is shot at. A "true pair" is a pair of targets that are presented at the same time. 

Typical five stand targets are a rabbit (along the ground), chandelle (presenting all belly or all face), overhead, standard skeet high house and low house shots (left to right or right to left, starting just of the ground to about 15 feet off the ground), teal (launched straight up into  the air), trap (straight ahead from ground level), and an incoming bird.  

Typically, shooters use shotguns of any gauge and shot shells loaded with 1 oz or 1 1/8 oz number 7 1/2 shot or number 8 shot
