Clay shooting

Clay shooting is a sport played using a shotgun. Competitors are required to shoot a clay pigeon, moving at a speed of 22 - 30 m/sec., within 0.5 - 0.8 seconds after its launch. This is a highly thrilling sport, requiring instant decision and fast reflexes.
With their shotguns, competitors shoot at clay pigeons launched into the air. Winners are decided by the number of clay pigeons downed. Competition is divided into 3 events: Trap, Double trap, and Skeet. Events:

Trap shooting:

Clay pigeons are launched by 3 computer-operated machines to establish fair competition. One flies to the right, one to the middle, and the other to the left. A competitor may not shoot at a clay pigeon more than twice.
