Double Trap is considered the “medium range” event and is shot by men only.
The shooters (in squads of six) shoot in turn from 5 designated shooting stations set 15m back from the front edge of the bunker roof.
Upon shooter’s command, 2 targets (the “double” or “couple”) are released simultaneously within a period of 0 ~ 1 second from the trap machines in center of the bunker.
The 2 targets travel at different heights and angles and a round consist of 25 “doubles” (for a total of 50 targets).
The shooters fire 1 shot at each target.
