Gun up, no delay, two shots except in the shootoffs.

Not quite. there is a slight delay in International Trap, introduced since Pia Hansen of Sweden was calling for the bird and pulling the trigger simultaneously. As the ref, I could see pellets bouncing off the edge of the bunker. There was no rule to stop that so I could not no-bird her The delay was introduced especially to stop her, as there was, rightly. concern about injuring personnel in the bunker and flankers.

Mike, thanks for the information and correction. Can you cite the rule book paragraph that describes that delay? Thanks.

Drew,
Those appear to be std. P-gun front sights for some of their target guns; a small red square is what the shooter sees, if he/she looks at it at all. It is not not overly bright.

Michael Diamond sets new Olympic Trap record with 125/125 and is-was one target clear heading into the final. Double shoot off for the gold and bronze in the trap final. Gold- Croatia ( cerenogaraz) vs Italy (Fabrizzi) Bronze- Kuwait (Aldeehani) vs Australia (Diamond) http://www.london2012.com/shooting/event/men-trap/phase=shm401900/index.html

Despite setting a new Olympic record and tying the world record, Michael Diamond is going home empty handed! As they say it ain't over till the fat lady sings. Wow! Some final. There were shoot-off's for gold and bronze at 145 and 146. Diamond went in having gone 5 rounds straight and dropped 5 ending up in a shootoff for bronze and losing 4:3 to Aldeehani. Cernogoraz was at the bottom of the qualifiers going into the final round with 121 and went straight despite a no-bird on the last. He took gold against Fabbrizi 5:6. http://www.london2012.com/shooting/event/men-trap/phase=shm401100/index.html

I have never seen such an unusual and suspenseful final in any clay target sport. What a finish. I think Mike Campbell is pulling our leg about the guns.

I think what Mr. Campbell is referring to is that there are none of the bells and whistles that typify the "standard" ATA style of preferred trap gun. Refreshing, actually. Makes me feel better about all those flat ribbed guns I have. Here is a link to a nice site for int'l shooting. Has a link to the ISSF rules down the page a bit. http://www.bunkershooting.com/tyro.htmlLike TW mentioned about the front sights in another thread, Perazzi had those florescent things on their guns in the late 60's. Several of the ones here still have them but the ATAers were quick to yank them and tap in a Bradley. Actually NBD to me since I don't see it anyway but the lost aesthetic is bothersome, innt? have a day Dr.WtS

stolen from another site just an FYI sorta thing If you are interested in the details of bunker an excellent site is shootingbunker.com. Bill Bartels gives an excellent description. Also, go to usashooting.org and the rule book describes details for trap installation,etc. and includes the nine settings for each of the machines; height, angle, and distance. Here is a correct diagram of an International Trap Field.You have the "bunker" from which the targets are thrown.. A shooter will shoot one target and then move to the station to the right, and when the shooter reaches the far right, will start again on the far left position. The distance between the shooters and the bunker is 15 meters (approx. 17 yards). There are marks on the bunker in front of each shooter representing the middle trap of the three trap for that station. The trap under that mark will throw a straight-away, the trap to the right will throw a left angle, and the trap to the left will throw a right angle. A round consists of 25 targets, and a typical day of shooting for a match will be 100 targets.
