Shooting stands

Three stands are available: 2 Olympic Bunker Traps (15 machines) and 1 Universal Bunker Trap (5 machines).
These three stands can be used for universal trap and double trap.

Fosse C - Olympic Fosse olympique

Fosse B - Olympic

Olympic stand: a series consists of 25 clays - a total of 15 launchers are in the Olympic bunker trap house (3 launchers for each shooter) - Only cartridges loaded with no more than 24 grams of pellets are permitted (Olympic sport). Double trap: two regular targets called by the shooter, are thrown simultaneously - series are 2*25 clays. There are three different schemes and only cartridges loaded with no more than 24 grams of pellets are permitted.

Fosse A

Universal stand: the clays are thrown away from the shooter by 5 trap machines at a distance from 65 to 75 m. The shooter don't know which launcher will be at action and participants shoot in turn at each of the 5 stands - only cartridges loaded with no more than 24 grams of pellets are permitted.

American stand: only 1 launcher throws the clays in different directions at a max distance of 60 m. This is the most popular clay shooting sport.

All this is fully-automated and computerized. The throwing of the targets is ordered by the shooter’s voice. ;

The shooters are not allowed to shoot together. So 1 clay for 1 shooter.
Score: 1 broken target = 1 point, 1 non broken target = 0 points
Champions used to have 23 to 25 points

Shooting sessions for new shooters are available. Before the new shooter is admitted in these sessions they will have a full explanation of rifle manipulation and security rules..
