Sheridan Transit Rod and Gun Club A SHOOTING CLUB FOR ALL OF WESTERN NEW YORK. We are open to all shooters who want to further their a What exactly is trapshooting?

Trapshooting, often called "American trapshooting," is a type of clay target or clay pidgeon shooting different than sporting clays or s***t shooting. When trapshooting, movement, action and split-second timing is an essential part of the game. It is sport which requires dedication, patience and the ability to shoot at 4.25 inch disc thrown through the air at a speed of approximately 41 mph, which

simulates the flight of game birds fleeing a hunter or bird dog. A trap field uses either a hand release run by the score keeper, or voice calls that respond to the shooters' voice, utilized by STRGC, to send a signal that launches the target. A round of trap consists of 25 birds, 5 birds being shot from each station in rotation. The shooter is required to shoot at the target after he calls “pull.” It does not matter in scoring if the shooter hits only a small piece of the target or whether he shatters the target. If the target is hit it is “dead.” If it is missed then it is “lost“. It is best for the shooter to double check his score after a round is completed. The Field
Each trap field has five shooting stations in an arc, each station being 11 degrees away from its neighbor. The shooting stations are paths radiating out from the trap house with distances from the house marked from 16 to 27 yards. The rules for registered trapshooting according to the ATA (Amatuer Trapshooting Association), STRGC is a ATA registered club, specify that targets must be thrown no less than 48 yards no more than 52 yards and should be between 8 and 10 feet high at 10 yards from the traphouse. Shooterstypically stand 16 yards from the trap houses but up to 27yards in handicap
