Trap shotguns: precision and consistency for clay pigeon shooting

The trap gun is designed to meet the demands of clay target shooting . In this discipline, clay targets are launched from a machine called a "trap" and move quickly away from the shooter. Trap guns are therefore optimized to promote upward aiming , shooting stability , and excellent consistency.

These rifles generally have longer barrels , a stock adapted for sport shooting and specific sighting devices to follow the trajectory of the clay target.

Trap over-and-under shotguns

The over-and-under trap shotgun is the most common model in this sport. Its configuration with two superimposed barrels offers excellent stability and balance, which is highly valued by trap shooters.

This configuration also allows the use of two different chokes in order to adapt the shot pattern according to the distance to the clay target.

Trap side-by-side shotguns

Trap side-by-side shotguns are less common but may appeal to some shooters attached to traditional firearms. With their two barrels placed side by side, they offer a wide sight line and a classic style.

Some enthusiasts choose this configuration for its aesthetics and unique character.

Trap semi-automatic shotguns

The semi-automatic trap shotgun is an attractive option for shooters seeking shooting comfort and reduced recoil. Thanks to its automatic reloading mechanism, it allows for smooth, rapid-fire shooting.

This setup can be particularly appreciated during long clay pigeon shooting training sessions.
