SKEET
Skeet shooting is a recreational and competitive activity where participants, using shotguns, attempt to break clay targets mechanically flung into the air from two fixed stations at high speed from a variety of angles.
TRAP
In Trap shooting, the targets are launched from a single “house” or machine, generally away from the shooter. Trap is one of the three major disciplines of competitive clay pigeon shooting. The others are Skeet and sporting clays.
