Shooting Procedures
Trap personnel are in charge of the trap range when it is open for use. RSOs may intervene to deescalate an unsafe situation but should include trap personnel when reviewing trap procedures and/or safety information with shooters.- Eye and ear protection are required. Shooters not wearing eye and ear protection will be asked to leave the firing line.
- All guns must have the action open and contain no live shell or spent shell at any time except while the shooter is on the firing line and facing the trap.
- A gun that fails to fire as intended for any reason must be opened while keeping the gun pointed downrange.
- If the orange cone or light is on the trap house it indicates that someone is loading the trap and that they will be returning up range. All shooters on that trap’s firing line should keep their firearms free of both live shells and spent shells and keep their actions open.
- If trap personnel need to go downrange after shooters have taken the firing line each shooter must remove any live ammo or spent shells and keep their actions open.
- In singles shooting a shooter may only place one live shell in the gun at a time. In doubles shooting a shooter may place two lives shell in the gun at a time. The gun should be free of both live and spent shells when the shooter is changing positions or leaving the firing line for any reason.
- A squad leader usually starts on position number one. If there is no shooter starting on position one the person starting on the farthest left position is considered the squad leader. The squad leader should not begin shooting until all other members of his squad have taken their position on the firing line and are ready to start.
- Guns placed in any gun rack shall not contain a live or spent shell. Pump action and semi-automatic shotguns must have their actions open.
- All spent shells ejected from guns must remain on the ground until the end of the round at which time the shells must be recovered and disposed of properly.
- The throwing of manual targets is permitted only when trap is not open for use with voice-controlled callers.
- When encountering new or inexperienced shooters the RSO should encourage that they reach out to trap range personnel for explanation of the shooting process and trap specific safety concerns.
