WINNER - Best Shooting Ground 2006 - The Shooting Industry Awards |
The ground layout consists of 5 shooting positions (pegs) 9ft apart in a 16 yard arc from a single trap house. The targets are fixed in terms speed and elevation but are variable from side to side to a maximum of 22.5 degrees either side. A round usually consists of 25 targets for each competitor which are fired away from the shooter and fly 50 - 55 yards. "Regulation" targets are set by ensuring the clay targets pass through a 3ft diameter hoop set ten yards along the centre line and 9ft high. |
