Down-the-Line Trap (DTL)
Down-the-Line Trap (DTL) | UK's Most Popular Trap Shooting Sport
Down-the-Line Trap (DTL) is the most popular version of trap in the UK. One trap is set in the center of the layout, with five stands, or pegs, in a line behind it.
Starting from the left peg, each shooter takes their turn shooting at an individual target. Once all five shooters have shot, the leftmost shooter starts the process again, until each shooter has shot at five targets. At this point, the shooters move one peg to the right (the shooter on peg five goes around the back of the line to stand one), and the process starts again. The person who shot first on the initial five targets always starts the shooting no matter what stand they are on. These rounds of five shots followed by moving continue until every shooter has shot at 25 targets.
A single target is thrown each time the shooter calls ‘Pull!’, but the shooter has two shots to hit the target. Three points are awarded for a first-barrel hit, and two points if a second shot is needed. A miss gives no points.
