What is Automatic Ball Trap (ABT)?

ABT is the second most popular Trap discipline in the UK, next to Down The Line. An ABT squad consists of 6 shooters. Only one target is taken at each stand before moving to the right for the next target. Two shots are allowed at each target. There are five stands with a waiting position for the sixth shooter. ABT targets are faster and have a greater range of angles and heights than DTL. Targets are thrown away from the shooters on random trajectories from a single trap in front of the centre stand.

Situated in the same vicinity as our Skeet ranges, we currently have two voice activated ABT setups. Again the backdrop and skyline allow for near perfect shooting conditions for this discipline.

What is Olympic Trap?

Also known as 15 Trap, the squad size and stand layout is very similar to ABT & DTL, with 5 stands set in a straight line and a squad of six. Targets are thrown away from the shooters from one of three traps in front of each stand, fifteen traps in all!

The trap house roof is at stand level, hence this discipline is often referred to as Olympic Trench. The shooting procedures are also similar to ABT.
