Most Olympic trap guns are 30". Some are 32" but not many.
Barrels are 1500-1600 usually. Chokes will be a minimum of 1/2 (Mod) and 3/4 (Imp. Mod). Most will be tighter than this. I think Perazzi suggest 6 and 9 for most "bunker" shooters.
The vast majority of guns are Beretta or Perazzi. The Hi Tech has taken over from the MX8/2000 as the latest, but many P guns are still MX models.
Low ribs are usual. The half high ribs were really a double trap idea.
Lots of people use the Ergo or similar fully adjustable stock. Otherwise they'll be custom timber stocks.
No release triggers.
As mentioned above the qualifying (125 targets in the individual events, 50 per shooter in the mixed pairs) is double barrel with no penalty for a second barrel hit. Most shooters will use at least a few seconds per round in qualifying, although I have seen James Willett hit 25/25 single barrel in qualifying. Even then some shooters will shoot chips every 4th or 5th shot to remind them to keep their head down. Michael Diamond, the best double barrel shooter ever, did this all the time-but then he didn't pay for his ammo!!
Ammo is 24g maximum at 1300+ fps. I just looked in my cupboard and I have Bornaghi All Blacks at 1340 and Clever Grand Italia at 1380.
Most will use 7 1/2s in both barrels. Some use 8s in the first. Wads must be translucent..
The final for individuals and the medal matches for the mixed pairs are single barrel only. I have never seen anyone shoot this with either a top or an unsingle. I threatened to do it once in a pairs medal match when I was using my 682, as I had a top single for it. Let's just say Lisa threatened in return to insert the barrel in a very uncomfrotable sounding area, so I didn't. Good thing too, as we came third. Tom and Penny, both Tokyo Olympians, were shooting as a pair that event and beat us to go into the gold medal match.
Competitors must call for the target within 12 seconds of the previous shot result being known. That's what the referee is doing with that button in his/her hand-resetting the timer which is displayed on 2 screens downrange at 45 degrees from the 1st and 5th pads. The screen counts down to 5 and then the numbers flash. I once jokingly offered to shoot it as it was annoying the cr@p out of me but I was reminded that would be a DQ.....
Flash (powder filled) targets are used for finals. Targets are 2mm wider than ATA targets, with a lower dome and a harder compound. All targets are 76 metres.
