One bird, up to two shots
If the first shot misses, you may use the second at that same clay. A hit with either shot counts as one target. You do not need a second shot after a break.

SPORTRAP / READ THE MENU
One single. Two different pairs.
Five stands, five targets at each.
A 25-target round for each shooter.
The single, report pair and “simo” pair format is Sportrap. DTL trap normally presents one outgoing target at a time, with up to two shots at it. The interactive example below explains Sportrap.
Choose a stand, then step through its menu
Illustrative menu only. A–E identify the five traps, not five fixed types of target. Read the menu at your actual stand.
Step-by-step illustration, paused between actions. Hits and misses are scripted to explain the rules, not calculated from aim. It follows one shooter’s menu; in a squad, shooters take their turns across the line.
The shot releases bird two
The first clay launches on your call. The second launches on the report of the first shot, whether or not that shot breaks the first bird. Two cartridges cover the pair.
Both birds launch together
Both clays are released on your call. Either may be tackled first. Two cartridges cover the pair; the example shows one shot at each.
