Olympic Trap

Olympic Trap, also known as International Trap, is a high-speed and challenging clay target discipline featured in the Olympic Games. Shooters face 15 trap machines housed in a single trench, each programmed to release targets at random angles, elevations, and speeds of up to 100 km/h. Competitors rotate through five shooting stations and fire at two targets per station in each round. Precision, reflexes, and consistency are crucial, as shooters have just one shot per target. Olympic Trap is widely regarded as one of the most demanding clay target sports, testing the skills of even the most experienced athletes. It is governed internationally by the ISSF and forms part of the elite level of competitive shotgun shooting.
