Encyclopedia > Double Trap

Double Trap is a clay pigeon shooting sport, one of the ISSF shooting events. It is a recreational and competitive activity where participants use a shotgun to attempt to break a clay disk flung away from the shooter at high speed. The modern game of trap is in some ways a replacement for a game where the targets were live pigeons. Indeed, one of the names for the clay targets used in shooting games is clay pigeons.


The layout of double trap shooting is similar to that of trap shooting. The shooter stands 16 yards behind the house that releases the targets. Two targets are released simultaneously from the house. They follow set paths, usually 35 degrees to left and right of straightaway. The shooter can take one shot at each target.

Double Trap in the UK - Rules (1961 words)
If a double is not thrown within 1 second of the shooter's call, the shooter may refuse the double by removing their gun from their shoulder, or changing their ready position.
In the case of a malfunction of gun or ammunition through no fault of the shooter, a repeat double may be thrown a maximum of two times, regardless of whether or not the shooter has changed their gun or ammunition during the same round.
The target was missed with the first shot in a regular double and the shooter fails to fire a second shot because of a malfunction of the gun or cartridge; the double must be repeated to establish the result of only the second shot.
