Trapshooting, also called clay-pigeon shooting, or down-the-line shooting, sport in which participants use shotguns for shooting at saucer-shaped clay targets flung into the air from a spring device called a trap.

Skeet Shooting differs from trap shooting, in that in skeet, traps are set at two points on the field and targets may be thrown diagonally across the shooter's field of vision as well as directly away from him.

Sporting Clays is a form of clay pigeon shooting, in which a typical course includes 10-15 different shooting stations laid out over natural terrain.  Sporting Clays simulates the unpredictability of live-quarry shooting.

Steel targets are shooting targets made out of hardened steel and are used in firearm sports.  The shooter gets an instant acoustic feedback on a successful impact and can visually confirm hits by leaving a mark on the surface paint.
