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.
